             Not specifically.
              
            
            
           Hein Gericke do a clear plastic protector sheet that you can cut to shape, I've seen it used on the side of the tank to great effect. I would imagine that other suppliers will do something similar. eBay is a great source of this sort of thing, I did a search on 'Vinyl Sheet' and this is what came back -> http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nk....c0.m270.l1313 Generaly though, unless you are off-roading, it's pretty hard to scratch the tank on these. I've no protection and my tank hasn't suffered (other than a couple of offs in sandycrap where my boot tip made a couple of decent marks) from my knees.

             You can also buy adhesive dots to protect the tank which come in different finishes. I used to have some on one of my R1's. I'll have a look once I'm at home and see if I can find a link for you.

             How about these?
              
            
            
            http://www.v2mal.com/stomp/category/26 If you look in the sports bike categories you'll see some universal sized pads which might fit. They also do regular tank pad 'spines'.  |

             Hi,
              
            
            
            I used the clear sheet to protect the whole knee area of the tank and it works a treat. Yellows a bit over life but there is enough on the sheet to cover it again. One strange thing was that after making a paper patern for one side it would not fit the other. Different shape! So make a pattern for each side not just a mirror copy. Also made a cover to go around the key area. Trickier. Rob  |
