I'm not a fan of the half bra's. They make a full vinyl cover or you could buy a carbon fiber tank protector. Not the thin little strip 1's but the protectors that cover that whole area where a belt buckle or zipper may hit. I got a full black faux leather tank cover off ebay for like $50. It has hayabusa scribed on the sides and gets the job done. It had saved my tank a few times from dropped tools, bolts, etc
