One solution to the rubbing factor on the tank...is the "invisible bra" type plastic sheets from Aerostich. You cut them to your needs. I have on my KS tank...is nearly invisible...has done a fine job.

I have had my One-piece Roadcrafter for a while, although I always felt safer than my other suites, eventhough the sales people at aerostich are the best, the suite was never comfortable, riding was stiff rather like Frankenstein, no movement between joints, just felt too bulky for a sports bike, I could honestly say I lost some interest in riding, until I decided to bite the bullet and bought the Hain Gericke leather Pro Shell, left the Roadcrafter & helmet in the shop, rode home & vibrant again, I was free, I had forgotten how joyous counter-stirring was at 140km.

It was a big toss up between home Hein Gericke Tour COOL GORE-TEX® PRO SHELL & the Rukka Marlin, in choosing Hein, I saved 500 buks and bought a brand new schuberth helmet to replace my shoei Multitec due to the weight/noise reduction.

Ride on & lean on wind.
