RJ13 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Has anyone found any material like motorcycle tank guards use? I'm hoping to find some kind of not-too-permanent self stick material to use for scuff protection. I was also thinking of trying to get members to submit pics of their mcm5 scratches and dings to see where the common contact points are, so if you think that's a worthwhile effort, please post pics of your machine's road rash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 "TechSpec General Sheet Snake Skin" is what I have on some parts of my wheel. It's just a cuttable pad of the typical tank guard material. Holds up very well, but it is expensive and harder to clean than a smooth surface if it gets dirty. https://www.google.com/search?q=techspec+general+sheet+snake+skin https://techspec-usa.com/general-sheet-releasable-adhesive-12-x-13.html Maybe there are also cheaper alternatives or China generics, but I didn't find any back then. Anyways, "TechSpec" is a search term that worked for me. Alternatively, there is the full body roll.nz EUC body guard: https://www.roll.nz/int/euc-bodyguard/100-348-gw-mcm5-euc-bodyguard.html#/132-colour_combination-black_sides_purple_edges You can also ask the US sellers if they sell one (ewheels sells them, I think, and maybe others). Thruth is, though, that you don't really need much protection on a wheel once you are over the initial learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ13 Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 Thanks! I'll take a look at those, and yep, this is (will be when it arrives Friday) my first EUC, so just looking to keep it from getting too beat up during our honeymoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 You can use anything for the two or so weeks you really need it. Often people just cut up a yoga mat and duct-tape it onto the wheel. There are plenty of options if you search this forum for a bit (via Google, the inbuilt search sucks), from cheap and easy to the tank protector things and full body covers mentioned.

RJ13 Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share Posted July 6, 2022 I’ll give that Google search a try. Thanks, again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
