Default Has Anyone got a nice solution to stop the top of the Ohlins shock wearing

The top of the shock gets worn away from your leg/boot whatever, has anyone got a neat solution of something to put over there to stop the shock getting worn?

Somebody made a quicky plastic guard for one from a lid to a spray can a while ago,, I've also seen CF ones for other bikes,, would be nice to see one for this too..

I made one with the spray paint lid. Someone else came up with it.

Easy to do. Cut it in half and then carve out top leaving a lip. Drill two holes in each side and use a zip tie around the shock reservior to hold it.

A stainless steel hose clamp at the top and bottom look real good and will stop most wear.

Cut a redbull can and splice the back and zip-tye it on. Also works for your top fork tubes in the tree. You may also use and other pop or beer can out there.

Any pics I think I've seen beer cans used before and they look good - a red bull blue may match the color of the bike. Only problem is I hope I don't have to drink the stuff!
