**** happens, Yes - but I still don't put plastic over my couch..... You have a brand new ride, show it off - don't cover it up.... Just my opinion though!

I like motorcycle armor......works good and can't really even see it there. Plus the old lady doesn't scuff the bag lids with her boots.....

My Mustang covers have never been damp or shown traces of water when I took them off. As far as the bra thing, I haven't tried it yet, but it won't leave marks with the sweatshirt material behind it.

I mounted the chrome guards on the lid of my '09 Ultra Classic and wished I hadn't. I would love to trade straight across with anyone that has the same color.

If my old lady scuffs up the bags, then she gets to wax the bike on the weekend.

Interesting. I installed the Air Wing twin chrome shields with running/brake light and love it. Protects my bags and adds more light which is always a good thing!!!!

http://www.motorcyclearmor.com/index.htm

I bought these - $100 for a pair of Saddle bag lids covers - free lifetime replacement upon return - shipping not included - perfectly clear on my electric orange paint - shine is not effected

they cannot be seen if done right, except the edges ... I usually have to show people it's on there

takes over 30 minutes + to apply each, the clear plastic actually stretches as you push it to shape it on the curves ... takes some effort

mine have done their job ... Opps

warm application helps alot

the solution they supply seems to soften the plastic for shaping (?)

after many (23) years ownership my old saddle bags lids looked like $hit & the rest of the bike was scratchless - so now my lids will always be like their supposed to be - I hope
