So giving the girl a wee polish on Sunday and notice theres a bit of a scratch on the tank. Bugger.. jacket buckle no doubt. Then I was in a bike shop shortly thereafter and saw a cruiser with a 'tank bib' on it... like the photo below.
Has anyone else used one of these and if so where did you get it from? and anyone know if there is a supplier in Auckland that makes these or even in NZ for that fact.
Yes I know I can stick clear polish on the tank. I don't want to. I like the idea of being able to stick my cell phone/map in a pocket on a tank bib.. Would prefer one without the stud looking things though.
I wouldn’t be broke if the voices in my head paid rent
They look (with their S&M studdy things) like they'd be worse for the tank than nothing.
What's worngA with your normal stick-on plastic tank protector?
Those won't be weatherproof! The leather will crap out, and the S&M studs will rust or at least tarnish.

the other problem with them is over time, the tank will fade around the bib
so when you take it off tank is not all one colour.
Father in law has made tons of these over the years.
So does ones father is law still make them? Or am I going to have to fashion one myself and get the blasted leather needles out of storage and scare my sewing machine?

Yep he can make them, but sorta thing need bike here to do it.
wouldn't bother with leather, just get some vinyl for the one above like busa.
So does anyone know of anyone in Auckland who makes/sells them?
Surely it's not that hard to sort this. I'm sure even if you can't get to Roundabouta that you can sort out with Cajun what you want and his dad-in-law can get the measurements from another bike like yours closer to his workshop.
maybe.. but I had thought that there must be someone local who has them so that I could have a look at the range before I decide on what one to get.
If not then thats fine.. Just a girl shopping tis all.
