Default Paint Protector Kits
Has anyone used the kit on their bike? Pros and cons ??
Looks like a job for the professionals to install nonetheless.
I am new to the Harley scene...purchased an '09 Ultra...curious as to whether many do install this kit.
Thx in advance.

Are you talking about the leather bra that goes over the fairing?

There used to be a fellow on the forums that sold 3M paint protectors for saddlebag lids, lower forks, etc. Seems like a sound idea, but I've never had any experience with them.

I dont know what hes talking about but I was thinking of the clear vinyl that can be applied...ive seen other brands that have it cut specifically per model and is hard to even see on the bike if put on right

Yeah, you're right. He was called Profinish. He sold a product called Hawg Armor. He got himself banned from HDF.
