Thinking about putting one on my 19 limited industrial grey black denim, flat colors. I'm wondering if the underlying soft material will rub a put on shine/sheen on the paint. Does anyone know or have experience from the saddlebag lid covers?

 

I wouldn't chance it.

 

Are your tanks sagging already ?​

 

Had one on a Sportster a number of years ago. Yes, over time, dust and the like will get between your tank and the material and will wear a shine--or even scratches--into the tank. Not worth it in my opinion unless the bra will protect against something worse.

 

You brightened my day ... Thanks :>)

 

One word - NO

 

If you want to protect the paint on your tank, then look into 3M paint protection film. Essentially, you make a clear-bra for it.

 

This!

 

Thanks for the replies , if I had known the flat colors were such a PITA I would have stayed with the norm.

 

Xpel paint protection film makes a film for matte finishes.

I'm sure you can find an installer locally. If not, you can order their kit and apply it yourself.
