What kind of pants do you all wear, velvet? Because my old Kawasaki Z750S was the same way...my textile pants rubbed the paint dull right away. Same with my new VFR...just the ride home from PHX to Tucson made the paint on the tank hazy. Good wax did NOT do a thing to help. That is why I got the cling-stuff from Sniders ASAP. Now I have leathers but I cannot imagine that they would be any better about scuffing the paint. I don't expect something like a bike to stay perfect for thousands of miles but I sure am going to do something about ruining the paint in one ride. But I agree with the original thought of DerStuka...cannot stand a bra on a bike.
