bags

I'm about to put throwover bags on my bike. Does the strap scratch up the paint under the seat? I was thinking about putting some mole skin on the bottom of it to put something soft between the leather and the paint. Any suggestions?

I had em on my Sporty and it does tend to scratch/dull the paint over time. I tried putting felt in between the bags and the fender but no matter what, it picks up small sand and dirt particles. I used to hit it was Nu-Finish Scratch Doctor and a coat of wax once a month or so to remove the light spider marks and fine scratches.
 
Try some pantyhose, does not slip, mar and it breathes:s
 
I've had old black sox under my strap for nearly 20 years, and no noticeable
scratches. Where my seat contacts fender is a different story. :newsmile08:
