Biketronics Plastic Sheet Replacement
I recently bought (and installed) a Biketronics BT-1005 retro kit on my bike. A VERY short time later I realized that the radio I installed was not going to work for me. Anyways, in the BT kit there was a plastic protective sheet that is used to cover the top of the radio to protect it from the elements. OK, obviously this thing is stuck like crazy to the old radio. Any ideas where I can get something that will work in its place? Thanks for your help.

it's just an adhesive Vinyl sheet. A really nice one w/ 3m adhesive. I'd grab another off Amazon.
Do a search for paint protection film and you'll get a bunch of options.
- might need to overlap a bit, and have a lot extra... 3M is IMO one of the best, but another brand would work just as well and save some $.

This is a great vapor barrier material at a good price.

You could use just about anything in a pinch. Packing tape works too! Heat cycles and lasting, plus ability to take some abuse if banged around (create a hole to leak water into radio=bad) - that's where rock chip guard type is handy.
I'm sure a 1/4"-1/2" overlap in the center would not hurt, and as long as it wrapped over the edges the 6x48 would work while leaving you with a ton extra for other "bits" you don't want chipped. Thinking maybe the saddlebags, front and rear fender ends maybe... lots of options!
