        <![CDATA[ I haven't seen any postings about the color of the battery and how it sticks out like a sore thumb.  I use black duct tape around the bottom half and it slides in and looks great.  I suppose it could be painted too. Just a thought. The Tourer is such a beautiful bike I don't know why something hasn't been done about it. ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ &quot;Chrome Brite&quot; adhesive tape by &quot;TrimBrite&quot; products looks pretty cool. It&#39;s better than alum tape and it comes in a variety of widths.
I use the 3&quot; wide. If you a re still concerned about tarnishing, then coat with a spray acrylic clear coat in the aerosol can to protect it.
