Great idea I think thats what I will end up doing, great idea cause it won't slide around like a micro fiber cloth under would.

 

Well I came to a conclusion that I still thought a clear 3m sheild would be best (like they use for clear bras on cars). So I called up a local window tinting place near by I have had multiple vehicles tinted by and asked them if they could custom fit something for me. Well to my supprise they said no problem I has it done this afternoon looks awesome can barely even see it honestly (hence the reason I have no pic) I would recommend this option forsure if you have access to a professional. I tried doning it myself and it just did not turn out but these guys....Did it right!! Thanks for all the suggestions.

 

The passenger seat on my bike just touches the fender in four places with the little round rubber bumpers. I figured that 4 little pieces of tape on the fender would prevent the bumpers from touching the paint. Even the rubber mat will grind the paint to a certain extent just due to the slight movement of the mat over the paint. Even a small piece of that clear packaging tape should work.

 

Gotta love Denim paint. Getting rid of scratches is very easy.

 

This was my thought after a while as well so...If you see my most recent post I went to a local window tint/clear bra specialist and they fab'ed me up a clear fender bra looks awesome and should work great!!

 

took my mat off over the weekend to completely detail the bike and so far so good
no scratches or rub marks.

by the way wg2011, what did the 3m cost for the install

 

42.00 including uncle sams take so I thought that was not bad at all. I mean it only took 30 mins and probably 2 bucks in material but for what its going to save me in the long run well worth it!! Best part they do a great job so unless I point it out you can't see it. He made the seams on the pin striping so you can;t see the lines even on the sides.

 

I really like the denim paint but no such thing for the wide glides. Not factory anyway

 

fender bib. I leave mine on all the time and mount P pad over it

 

I just ordered a fender bib actually about a week ago, I got it because I needed something there when riding solo. The bolt that hold the pass seat vibrates like no other with it having nothing to attach to.
