much to my horror my tank bag has scratched my tank, deep ones all the way through the clear coat, this has made me ponder striping the tank, anyone done it?

On a T-100 ? No way ! . Get it fixed . A good body shop can do it right . If I could trade tanks with you I would . I have a Thruxie . It would be such a sacrilege to do that to a hand painted tank . Definitely consider getting it fixed and getting a tankslapper film to protect the tank.

What tank bag were you using that did this? I want to make sure I keep that thing off my baby.

I stripped the tank on my Thruxton 1 month after I bought it 3 years ago. Used an air sander and sanding disc - took maybe 30 minutes. No problem getting the paint off. Also stripped all the plastic down - a little more tedious due to the soft nature of the material.

it was a triumph tank bag for a tiger 1050, it's not the bags fault i set it down in a hurry and put it back on and it picked up small pieces of magnetite.
