That's just a part of the reason I refuse to pay thousands for paint on a vehicle that will never see a show...

If you ride on the road, it's gonna get chipped/dinged/sand blasted. I don't really like the texture of the Rhino Liner, looks too disturbed.

When I bought my bike, it had white/black police colors on it with some decent pin striping. Had to change it from 'his bike' to 'my bike'. This is what I used for smoother finish and nice level texture...



Sides of tank, top of front fender, and lower saddle bags were white. I covered the white over with it. Turned out kinda nice, except I need to have the pin striping redone around the edges, so the tape edge isn't so pronounced.

Yeh, you guys with the nice paint laugh, but I don't have to worry about wasting my paint cost, or riding with a scuffed paint job until it's fixed. (Believe me, I know how much scuff marks/chips urk you, and the bike still rides great!)

 

I would go with something you can remove if you are concerned with resale.

 

I got a Brother that dropped his streetglide last summer. He was short of funds...so he smoothed up the dings then had all the tins and all the chrome rhino-lined. I like it...has a mad max look to it and I like it. I never detail my bike, hate to spend a lot of time washing it... When my paint has reached it's limits...rhino-line or something similar is going on it.

 

i bought the mustang covers with the studs they are just fine!!!!!!

 

As someone else said, the clear plastic sheets are your best bet. Its basically the same clear film they put on the rear fender, under the passenger pillion. Unless you get right up on it you wouldn't even know it's there.

 

I have a couple of sets of clear plastic folm that goes over the lid and protects it. retail is $99.95 for the set and commmes with a lifetime warranty. I will take a pict when iI am at work nextime!

 

I've done my entire tour pack, both side covers and the "battery cover" under my cop seat in truck bed liner. Once a year I wash with soap and water and then a heavy coat of armor-all and its good to go.

 

No way would I do that to rough looking
