Fender Bras

[MICK66]

I know this subject has probably been hashed out before. But in your opinions for TG fender bras, which would be a better choice: the Saddleman vs Harley's offering?

[tbear]

Either Bra would fit. I have the Harley type on my 2010 and it is a perfect fit..
My friend has the Saddleman one (2012). It fits his well also. Soooooo-go for the cheaper price if there is a big dif in price?!

I don't do hash and don't know which offerings you are looking at, but IMO bra's don't belong on anything except for really old women! If you want to protect your paint without beating the paint to death with a bra I would use a good clear film.

I agree 100%. I put the 3M film on my 2010 Limited and then on my 2012 TG and have enough left over to do 4 more TG's. I'll do my 2014 as soon as it warms up - a lot.

I bought a bulk roll 18" wide by 5' long for $45

I made my own templates and cut them out with a "new - sharp" pair of scissors.

Not hard to do at all - compound curves, like the fairing, are a little tricky....so I don't do those.

Now 3M has a spray on film - I'm going to try that as soon as I can.

I'm not paying $32K for a bike and then conering it up. I want all the beauty to show.

Just me but I ride in rain, snow, salt, sand, mud/gravel. I'll live with the dents. Let the {when I sell} next rider worry about it. I won't dress my ride like some boy racer.
Bras remind me of when I was a kid and my old man would buy a new car and right out of the showroom he would go to Rayco and put on those butt ugly seat covers. Then when he sold the car the new owner would rip them off and have nice seats while we had to sit on the ugly seats for years....

Thanks for all the input. Much appreciated as usual.

I use them. Had to just buff out marks they left from using them but they cover allot of damage from rocks before I used them. In hindsight, clear film on paint before I picked it up would have been best but they were damaged soon after pick up. I had been debating if I was going to run them again and they are back on trike now.
I have been doing some blackout of chrome on mine this winter already and TG is Merlot and Black so they do not "stick" out to me.
We all do our own things on our own stuff, I will go with the fender bras and be happy to ride with any that goes braless!

Had a set on mine, took them off and sold them, kept leaving marks in the clearcoat. Couple marks won't even buff out. Figured I chance it without them.

I like the film to prevent damage and fender bras to cover them up if they are damaged.

I don't like the bra's at all. They look like crap and scuff your fender, I have the 3M film.

Hi GARYD...Where did you purchase the bulk roll of 3M film?

I went with the Motorcycle Armor kit. Gotta say I'm a bit disappointed in the amount of coverage on the fenders. I too hate to cover the beautiful Blackened Cayenne color on my 2014...but those fenders attract rocks and paint chips like crazy. Been thinking about the fender bras too.

Undecided......

I used the clear stuff from HD. Pieces are cut to fit and they do protect the paint. Ever had really good paint work done on HD sunglo? Use the film (same as 3M).

[DK Custom Products]

3M film here also.

AMAZON carries all the 3m stuff also.......

Your site doesn't show anything about what is covered on the Trike kit. With just 6 pieces to do the Trike does the kit cover the front & both sides of the fender, & front of the trunk, & the side cover???? Also is there any gaps in the coverage ???

Also what is the thickness of the material?

What does the tank 2 piece cover?

On the front fairing does it leave anything not covered ?

How is it applied? like window film?

[GARYD]

I bought the 18 x 60 roll. It has been enough for two bikes so far with a lot left over in case I want to replace a piece. The beauty of making your own pieces, besides all the money you save, is you can make pieces to fit whatever or whereever you want compared the the H-D kit. You can even buy different thicknesses.
I won't put anything that does not adhere to the surface on my vehicles. If it can move it will damage your paint finish no matter how tight you make it.

I always say if bras did such a great job, you'd see every Corvette or exotic car with one.

I'll take my chances with a few minor nicks I get here and there.

I like my women and my trike braless!

We updated the site to show what is included in the trike kit. We are currently working on getting pictures together of all of the other kits. It took us a while to figure out how to show "clear" material so that you can see what it covers without just using an arrow to point to what it covers.

6 pieces include three for each side. They cover the outer, inner, and side cover. There are gaps since it is three separate pieces.

The material is 8mil+.

Depending what bike you have depends on what the tank 2 piece covers. Let me know what bike and year you have and I can then let you know.

The fairing piece does leave some unnecessary areas uncovered, ie area behind lights. We are working to take pictures on this as well.

It is not applied like window film. It is applied as follows:
1) Make sure bike is clean
2) Wet hands, film, and bike.
3) Apply film and move into position
4) Smooth out any air bubbles with squeegee
5) Dry area with towel
6) Wait 24 hours and squeegee around edges to make sure it is sealed
