area near gas filler

Post by chet »

well i am on my second day with my2013 red PCX, i notice then when i get off st times i have a tendency that my shoe or boot scuffs the area by the gas filler, actually painted area, wonder if anyone added any stick on protection, i have a feeling i am going to scuff both sides of the area with my shoes.

This will work well, i have a 2 x 2" square under my keys so they dont scratch when swinging. Invisible....

I still have to get some of that ^^ so my side bags won't mar the bikes finish. Good idea for under the key area too!
It's been sitting in my Amazon bin waiting for the buy, and Dang! I just ordered a guardian bell! Next time, sigh.

What would we all do without Amazon and WallyWorld (Walmart)? Really! :roll:

I learned to lift my leg up higher during dismounts early on - those damn scuff marks will never fully go away :)

It's called helicopter tape, and is available cheaply on eBay. I've got it all over the rub points of my bikes.

My wife and I have reached that point in our lives where we can no longer swing our legs over the seat to get on, so the scuff marks are normal for us. I use Novus #1 Plastic Clean and Shine to take the marks off. They come right off.

The difference in other tape and the stuff I recommended is the Xpel has a self healing feature, so if you nick it, a day or two later the nick is virtually gone…

Google Xpel......used on many high line cars as an invisible bra.
