Well I'll let you know how it goes I just bought it. Yeah a little expensive compared to the others, but I like the install process I'm confortable with that as its exactly like the "zagg invisi-shield" stuff I use on my iPhones and iPods and it works GREAT.

So I'm going to check with a local guy to install the Batwing kit and see how much he wants to do it. I might just try it myself if he's on drugs LOL. I'll let everyone know how it goes. The bag lids were my MAIN concern for now as it looks like I wont hit the road for a while yet due to !*$!@&%-ing 8" of Snow and 7 degrees with 35 mph head wind.

just wondering if you put in on the bags yet, I have the zagg stuff on my crackberry, and this looks pretty good, any input before I plunk down 100 bucks would be nice! I don't know about the "lifetime warranty" if the company folds......

I'm interested in how it went on. Did you get the fairing done? How did it turn out? Any pics?

There are different types of this film, we have a guy locally that does it and the good stuff is almost invisible when installed. I am going to do some on my bike this spring. Last fall I put a custom paint set on a buddies RK and he had a lot of places done and looks great. Mike

here's an idea for those that don't want to pay a lot for a permanent type of film.

buy the 6-8" wide packing film used to wrap things like tires or around big bundles. A roll of 6" wide film at an office supply store is about $10-15 and has hundreds of yards of the stuff.

Now this is VERY thin stuff that stretches and clings. It will protect paint from bugs and small rocks/stuff, but will still allow big rocks and stuff to chip paint. But for a temporary film to keep the worst off your bike when travelling to a show or on vacation, it is cheap, won't look too bad if you get good or take your time, and when you get where you are going, just pull it off and toss!

Well I got the kit for the bags and haven't had the time to do them yet. Looks top notch and it was shipped SUPER fast even from across the US! I did speak to my local place that puts the 3m film on and they said 160 installed on the Fairing. But there was a lot of extra patterns they had for the FLHTC if I was interested. So I gotta go take a look at the patterns and see what they can do. I'm going to be very critical it does that "orange peel" look that wont hang with me.

baby shampoo and water will allow you to install easily. i have used it on my 2001 bag tops and now on my 2009. it's virtually invisible. get it from sticker city already cut for bags. listed a pannier set.

they have 3 different kinds-which one did you use?, when you say pannier set, is this different than the saddlebag kit? Did it yellow on you at all?

thanks
