Screen protection
« on: February 27, 2016, 07:10:02 PM »

Owned my 2015 SR for about 6 months.
I was reading a post about someone who touched his screen with a gloved hand and left a permanent mark on it.
Tablet or I-pad protector film is the best way to go but it can be quite difficult to cut to the right shape.
Easy way is to take a photo of the screen.
Use a lens that wont bend the image prefer SLR type camera and take the photo nice and square to the screen.
Print the image in black and white from your PC.
Keep changing the print size until it perfectly matches the actual size of your screen.
You now have a paper cut out that you can use to make a plastic or cardboard template.
Once you have the template making a new film to protect your dash screen is easy.

My next project will be to mould the tank bag bottom so that I can make a fibreglass hard box with a proper lockable lid.
Should look good if I can get the gel coat colour right.

A tank bag with extra storage would be good.

The stock tank as a little lanyard string that goes inside the little lock by the steer tube. While this is close to a good system, it does not lock the bag zipper closed and it does not even lock a helmet well.  Zero, please improve those things.

If the Zipper could easily reach this lock it would be good.

Mine came with a protective film on the dash and the "idiot light" bar. I guess I should've just trimmed the little pull tab and left em on there! If someone had one they could make an excellent pattern.
