I use the Scrambler magnetic tank bag. Between the magnets and the paint is a piece of black terry cloth towel that is invisible with the tank in place. Magnets still hold tight. And the towel is easier to keep clean (and scratchless) than the magnets.A word kf warning, I follow a lady on instagram who's done some miles on her Urban Enduro, some of her pictures show the paint on the raised tank ridges worn through to primer! Might be worth putting a soft cloth under any tank bag? Check her website Alicia Sornosa I am the first and only Spanish woman that has traveled around the world with her motorcycle.

Off topic a bit, but that story (and bike!) is so freaking awesome.View attachment 2389
It has her around the world route on it ;-) It also looks like she is using the OE tank bag as well. I'm guessing it's daily use plus whatever muck has got underneath that has worn the paint away. Worth thinking about if you're going to fit a tank bag regularly?
I think those wear marks actually look quite cool and will get cooler as she travels. Some people spend a lot of time and money making "wear marks" on custom bike tanks.
