Default Installed some Hawg Armor

Ordered 2 small pieces for the tank to keep from rubbing the chaps and pants on the tank.

Pro finish was great at explaining how to do it. 30 minutes and I have my protection. Easy install.

Default RE: Installed some Hawg Armor

Thanks it does look good, but that is a very flat and relatively small piece. My main interest is for the fairing and fairing lowers....both are curved and shaped differently, especially the lowers, so trying to figure out how to start and where to start and how bend/stretch the stuff without getting a wrinkle on those shaped portions gives me the most concern. Bag tops/fronts and the tank panels are fairly obvious for how to put them on, but once again, the fairing and fairing lowers are the parts that pick up the most bugs and rock chips. That's why I haven't committed to the Hawg armor yet.

Yep I agree, I stick to my skill level. For the whole bike I would have Pro Finish do it and have a beer and ask is it ready yet?
