Default Anyone use a Fairing Bra ?

I am going on a long trip and wondered if it is worth putting on my Ultra Classic. Might stop a chip or two I guess. Opinions ?

I like mine....even got some compliments too. I started by using it to cover some chips...thinking I was going to get the fairing re-painted...never did and the bra is still on.

Just my opinion and you can certainly add a bra or any other piece of lingerie that you like to your bike but I don't care for the look at all. Plus, I think you stand a chance of more paint damage with one than without due to rubbing.

Whatever turns your crank.

Cool

had my bra on for over 10K and doesnot or has not hurt the paint yet. I got tired of removing bugs. They do not seem to stick to the bra which is nice.

I have used one in the past on my 06 EGC on long trips and they do a great job, they are a snug fit and do not flap around or hurt the paint in any way. They have a nice fleece type lining which protects the paint. Wash & wax bike prior to installation and it will be slick as glass when you take it off. Mine was. I haven't used it on this bike yet, but probably need to.

I've just taken the bra off my '07 Street Glide after 12 months. No damage to the paint from rubbing, and protected it from chips on some long road trips. Definitely keeps the bugs off and easier to keep clean. It looks ok but I've taken it off to see the paint for a while. The Black Cherry Pearl looks better

The key to not damaging your paint as mentioned is a very good wash and wax prior to the installation. My riding buddy uses one on long trips and removes it when he gets back. I have seen no paint damage due to it's use.
Ride safe

Planning on getting one from Victoria's Secret...Not sure if they got one fitted for my Ultra's fairing, LOL.

Kidding aside...I'd want to protect my investment when going on a long trips, but local trips...I'd want to bare it showing it's true colors.

Double Dang,

Thorey
