Default RE: pros and cons of saddlebag lid bras

ORIGINAL: dawg

My 04 had those chrome guards on the lids but mama always seemed to mark 'em up somehow anyway. The new scoot doesn't have the chrome lid guards. What are folks thoughts on the lid bras?
Keeps the paint looking great... but covers it up so you can't see how great it looks. I don't really like them, but if I had passengers that were scraping my paint all up I'd probably change my mind.

I have the HD set that came with my bike when I bought it. I'll probably keep them around for the occasional passsenger that rides with me but 99% of the time they'll sit in my garage.

Here is one company that will sell the clear 3Mmaterial and also do the install.
