Boots rubbing tank - is there protection

henso · Jul 7, 2011

After almost 90h on the bike i notice that the tank is beginning to get thin at the redmarked area :shock: ,i have also worn throught the sidepanel (marked red).

Is there any good protection for it?? or any other ideas..i dont like the idea to have a hole in the tank.

Try the Husaberg plastic frame guards. They might be just enough to push your boot out away from the tank.

Try stair tread grip tape- works great, sticks to just about everything, but kinda ugly...
Been using it for a couple of years now, everything from Hondas to Huskys... No complaints, and still sticking.

Google a search...

I put on some clear plastic with a grip texture that isnt as harsh to your gear as skateboard or stair tread grip tape. Check out this recent post also: http://husaberg.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=14821
Might not help fix your tank right now though, but should stop/slow further wear.

I have the Husa frame guards but my boots were still scuffing the tank, subframe and side panels so I bought a sheet of the stick on plastic protector material you can get from most bike shops and cut out some shapes to fit. So far it's working a treat.

You might get away with a decal set that you can replace from time to time.

not pretty but should work.
