2015 FreeWheeler rear fender bra

[Dave]

How is everyone/ been sick, getting better, I'm Dave, used to have bar in Key West of any of you guys remember.

Any way, I'm thinking about putting bra's on the rear fenders of my FreeWheeler with that $99.00 kit from Harley. The trike is black, I think it will look pretty good and keep the little rock chips and heel scuff marks from hitting the fenders. The installation is simple, I located the Loctite 222 ms threadlocker and sealant, (PURPLE) that's the hard one to find, the end of the bra just screws into one of the tail light housing bolt. The problem I'm having if anyone knows what brand of tape I need I would appreciate it.

It says to us 2 little pieces of Anti- Abrasion tape 1.0 x 2.0 inch (25. 4x50.8 mm. These pieces are suppose to stick on the rear fenders slightly so the two clips that you put on each fender will not chip the paint. I hope this makes sense, but what kind of tape and brand and size do I use. I'm really lost with this tape issue. The direction are on the web under instructions for rear fender bra Dow FreeWheeler.

If anyone knows about this I would really like to know.

Thanks
Dave

I have been looking on HD site, but have only found the bra for the other trike not a Freewheeler...let me know the p/n please, if you would be so kind...

I would think the blue painters tape would work ... but I don't know for sure ... the idea I would think is to not have the tape stick to the paint, but still protect it.

Think your right Fuzzy The Blue Tape/ can you imagine Harley would not give me a 4 inch piece of tape after I threw about 28k their way. I think they wanted to put the bra on / it's only a half hour job

That part # is for the Tri-Glide fender bra. It will not work with the Freewheeler. As far as I know there is no such thing available for the Freewheeler. There is however a transparent film type protector. Part # 11100125.

I have the 3M clear paint protector film on my fenders and other parts. Paid $52 for a roll 2' x 8' and made my own pieces. Nobody even knows anything is on the fenders until I show them. Stops 95% of road debris.

I'm not spending $35K on a bike with a beautiful paint job and then cover it all up with a black leather(?) bra. :AGGHH:

I've seen firsthand the damage bras do to Corvettes. Not pretty. Must be a reason most Vette owners don't use one.

Good luck with yours.

I believe you are looking for the 3M film mentioned in a post below.

It is what is used to protect the paint. You can buy a roll or pieces on ebay. I use it everywhere things tend to rub. Like on the tank where the seat rests and on top of the side covers etc... I use it on all my bikes.

Alternative:
Many are having LineX sprayed on the forward surfaces(not just the fenders)of our trikes.
Have seen several w/a contrasting color used and applied to look like flames as it flows over the fender tops.
