Gas tank cover

I am looking for a gas tank cover for my XS. Back in the 70`s and 80`s you could buy these to fit some gas tanks, it was held on with straps that went under your tank, made out of vinyl or colored leather, something simular like the ones HD sells for their bikes. Anyone remember these or have any ideas. xsthomas

Thanks for the reply, but those are half tank bra`s. little things that dont cover much. the kind im talking about and that i had on my other bike, covered the whole tank, with straps on the bottom that connected the 2 sides under the tank. I havent seen those things in years. i guess they didnt sell well. but they did a good job of protecting the tank.

Seems like that tank cover would make excursions on the old XS a much more "pleatherable" experience.
