Default Wind Vest Scratches?

I saw this on the Wind Vest website:

Harley Davidson Dyna FatBob FXDF 2008-2009
Installation of the WindVest for the Dyna FatBob may leave mount marks on the handlebars


Does the wind vest scratch chrome? If it does, has anyone found a way to mitigate this?

National Cycle supplies small pieces of material that go under the clamps to prevent scratches and other damage. Considering the (high) price of a Wind Vest, the mfr. should do the same.

I just put two little strips of Duct Tape on the clamp surface, works great!
