Fender bras are a pain in the *** to take on and off. I have a set of Saddlmans on mine. I am modifying them with velcro on the rear attachment.

I have not seen anything short of a bra that will stop the scrapes and scratches on the sides of the fenders. I have the 3m Harley set on but that does nothing on the sides.

 

When someone points out nicks on our trike I just say " you should have been with us on that trip"...Our next trip is a 10 hour ride to Front Royal, Va. The next morning heading back home down Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway...Just a little 4 day weekend...

 

When i bought my first new car.[1964 Barracuda] I was out in front of my house spit shining it... When my Uncle [WW2 Vet] came over to me and said Bob, He always called me Bob' I guess because my name is Bob...Anyway he said Bob why don't you take a can opener and run the first scratch on it.. Then you can stop worrying about keeping it clean and where to park so it doesn't get scratched.. Life is too short for material things.. Then you can just ride the thing and Enjoy it.....
The Moral of the story, At the time i thought he was nuts...
Then in 67 when i got out of Nam... I understood what he meant .

 

LineX!!!!
Can be color matched or contrasted.
Saw one done silver over the bikes red and made to look like flames over the tops of the fenders.
Really looked good!

 

We just bought a new 16 TG and I'm contacting a high end automotive dealer to get a quote on putting Xpel paint protection film on the TG. If they use it on Prosche, landrovers, and Maseratis it should be good for my trike. If heard good things about Xpel. We will see.

 

Our local z-bart dealer installs 3M or another product like it. I have it on my FLHXXX and my wife has had it on her last three trikes. We have been very happy with it.

 

I got a xpel dealer install it on my 2016 tri glide . works awesome ! I tried 3m but boot scuffs ect would show and you couldn't get it off . The xpel , if left in the sun for 10 minutes goes back to original state .Or wash it with warm water. Only issue is that he had was a tough time applying it , as so the edges would not peel back around the curves !


Good luck , great product

3M on my trikes fenders and it has saved them from a lot of chips.

 

I had a local guy that does Xpel on Jaguar, Lexus and other top line cars for dealers, cover my 2016 Trike. He has not done much Motorcycle work, but after looking at my Tr-Glide, he decided to give it a try. He did the fenders, side panels and flat area between fender and covers, front fender, front fairing (in 2 pieces) the lowers (hardest part to install),the headlight and aux lamps and the rub area on the back side of the gas tank.

When he was cutting the pieces out he made the rear fenders longer and an inch wider on each side to get some more of the curved area. This made the rear fenders a little harder to do, but it all looks good to me. Yes, there is a couple of small places with minor flaws, but you have to look in the sun to really see them. I am very pleased. When you wax it it feels just as smooth as waxed paint. Price was $400.00, but I think if he does another one with this many items covered, he will probably charge a little more. Everything is sticking good and no problems so far, been about a month now. I am glad I held off riding much until I could get this done. Nice to not have to worry about small rocks, sand etc. Also nice not to have to worry about getting bugs off the paint every time you ride. Windshield is easy to clean with hot rag and doesn't take but a couple of minutes.

 

I know guys with trikes 2 years older than mine that just barely have their 5K service in (and they worry about every little bug and scratch)... my '14 is going on 50K, and I buff it down at least weekly, but I bought it to ride, not to put it on display! I keep mine looking good, but it is clear that it gets ridden.
