C800 Tank Bra/Cover

Help! I have just purchased a tank cover/bra from Cruiser Customizing in the US, and am attempting to install it as per the instructions supplied. This is apparently a Suzuki part and would've thought it'd be easy to fit - P/N is SU-990A0-76008, The instructions state to pull it over the front of the tank with the elastic strap secured under the tank - I MUST be doing something very wrong as there's no way this is going to stretch under the tank! Has anyone else bought one of these? Is there a secret to fitting? Am I just doing it all very wrong? Thanks in advance, Paul.

Hi Paul, I had the same tank bra fitted on mine and believe me they're tight at first lol what you need is an extra pair of hands to hold the elastic part around the front while you're pulling the bra towards the back, It feels really tight and as though it's going to snap! it doesn't though, they're all like that at first, it does go easier after the elastic has stretched but still easier if someone holds the front.

Aha! Thanks for the response Sim, I'll get my biker mate over the road to come give me a hand - he's a big lad and probably a lot stronger than feeble old me!
