theres a thin matting (rubber) that you can buy, likewise you can use an old tshirt cut to shape. thats what i did for years with my tl
but can i be the first to call you a lucky *******, as i have having my own troubles with tankbags .....albeit slightly different.... hope that helps. steve

Or wonderweb

There is some of exactly the same stuff, for approx 1/4 of the price bike shops charge for it, in B&Q allegedly.

I used wonderweb on my Bandit 12 under my tankbag for years because of the marks left initially. Worked a treat!

Yep!Wonderweb under the tankbag.I use my old BMW Motorrad 'bag just to put a DSLR(photo nut),wire chain in.Like the knowledge that my things are in view when riding,but it does put you off a bit.Have just ordered a Kriega US20 backpack for times away.A Knox rucksack comes too(not 100% happy with this)may go for the Kriega equivalent.AL
