That sounds a bit Mickey Mouse. Sign shops have clear plastic in several thicknesses show them where you think the straps may touch the fairing and they will cut the plastic and fit it. Yeah it costs, but they should do a good job. My last couple of bikes have had that stuff on the back of the tank where a zip could cause problems and on the side panels where the luggage straps could touch.
I'm not sure if that would work if the contact with the straps was permanent, I have the thickest plastic on the side panels and it's there to protect against accidental contact, which has happened because the plastic is marked but the paint is good.
There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop
