hi all,

has anyone done any long term 'testing' of the baglux bagster tank covers?

worryingly i noticed how the paint on the 06 s4 was scratching up around the knee area of the tank. a bit of tcut sorted it, but i want to prevent erosion rather than keep polishing through all the time.

i've looked at the 'tankslapper' transparent sheets, and although like the idea of non adhesive film, i'm not convinced they'll live up to my picky tastes. most clear protective sheets end up looking a bit sh!tty quickly.

i saw a baglux cover on an s3 today and thought it looked pretty stylish.

so its more for protection than tank bag etc, but that of course could then be a bonus.

a few questions though-

how do they stand up to rain etc? is there any problems with moisture getting trapped in there?

is there any long term scratching? i want to use it to protect the paint work, - the paint doesn't seem to be as good as my t3, preservation is key!

does the cover and the tank seem to be happy with it permently being on? don't want to be farting around with the straps on a regular basis.

cheers for any input received!
