Yep.
There's a thread here somewhere with a template to make your own.

Can't find the thread, here's the template file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1hb7dv7aax78hrd/Yamaha%20MT-09%20Tracer%20Display%20Guard.pdf?dl=0
Thanks to the original creator !

I have some tiny scratches on mine and I'm gonna try this product on it. I had this on the shelf already from my jeeping days, it was supposed to work well to remove scratches from soft top windows. I just used it the other day to remove scratches from my f150 gauge cluster. I rested an iPad on it the other day to monitor some stuff and the dust covering it combined with a bumpy road left some nice scratches. It removed them completely so I'm confident it'll remove them from the FJ instrument cluster as well.

I've had this film on my screen for over a year now, and it's wonderful. Cut to fit using the template link above.

Could somebody send me a copy of the template in pdf or whatever format is needed to print a copy. When I go to the link provided by Clint, I get a 3 page printout with the right margin cut off.
Here, I put the PDF on my website. You can download it from there.

Thanks, I had a heck of a time getting to be a member of this site. The Capsha would never give me any numbers or letters to prove I was human so I never got on. However all your help has been invaluable to me and I want to thank you all for the extra time you spend on those who are not so knowledgeable. Now I can cover my instruments with ease. Thanks again.

Installed the recommended Zoom tablet film cut with the template.
 
Maybe I did not clean the perimeter well enough but the film is not sticking around edges 100%, even after rubbing it down again. It was only 43 when I rode thogh, maybe in warmer weathe it will adhere ack down.
 
Also, screen is more than a bit duller so I increased brightness to 9 if I recall correctly which made it better during overcast daylight but near dusk I was paying attention to traffic on the way home and did not notice if the display was then too bright.
