If you get them don't put them on to tight mine ripped where you stick it to the velcro. They stayed on but were loose after that.

I never save anything for the next guy! For my hard earned $, I like to be the one who gets to scratch, nick and scuff! Then I can justify the new paint to the wife!

I put them on because my wife is short and I found myself waxing off scuff marks every time we rode together.I can also set her helmet on top of the bag without worrying about scuff marks.They come off in about 10 seconds if I dont want them on.And no,they dont hurt the paint under them at all.

ORIGINAL: blackrever

When i had my Road King thought about the covers but went with&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; the chrome lid rails.The rails work at keeping boot marks off and also was able to bungee stuff to them.
+1 They look sharp too.

I use lid haulers when I travel. They collect dust like a magnet on my dirt road so I don't put em on unless I need em.
