Got kind of a strange question, my key for my bike is just a loose key, because when i put a keychain on it it rubs against the gas tank and makes scratches, anybody have any homemade cures for this? Thanks in advance!!
apply a small piece of clear vinyl adhesive sheets over the area where it is scratching. I have seen these used on saddlebags where the passenger on the back will occasionally kick the bags while mounting the bike...this prevents damaging the paint and keeps the flow of the color on the bike.
I use one of these dual ring detachable key chains. On one end I keep the ignition key.
On the other end I keep the key(s) to my bags and a house key.
When riding I keep the luggage keys in my pocket. When stopping for ice cream or back home, I join the two and bingo, no scratches & no lost keys!
I know what you mean. The edge of my tank had paint missing, touched it back up then got this heavy duty clip thing. Ive also had clear vinyl stuck on the neck cover since I got the bike which is all scratched up with a swinging key pattern, been meaning to peel it off and stick new stuff on
This is what I use for a keychain.
It doesn't flop around much in the wind, it's hard to lose, and starts lots of interesting conversations when I set it on the bar.:grin2:
I always view my bikes as my pass to spiritual freedom. Although I don't want excessive scratches, I am not focused on them. Enjoy the ride, and don't worry about the scratches!
I am a fan of old time cars and the past, so me and my brother decided to customize my bike like you would a classic car, so we designed this and worked out the vibration stuff, and i love it! Gets a lot of comments
Never thought of fuzzy dice, that would be cool too!
