I think you guys of this opinion are probably right. I live on a rough gravel road and I've found little pebbles and even some good sized rock pieces in the oddest places. I believe that if your concerned, you would be better served by the 3-M Chip Guard. I use that on my frame lowers because of where I live and it does the job without allowing anything to get under it.
+1 ... Yep ... Bingo ... Once you riden a while then remove those covers the odds are high that you're going to have damage caused but the crap that finds it's way under those covers, then gets ground into the paint ... I've done paint repair to scooters with the "bras" on them too ... I think you're better off with a good coat of wax and a little bit of common sense .... just my.02 cents worth.

I don't know if I'd ever use them but I do see another possibility.
Some of you may Have played with RC cars. Usually the bodies are clear. The bodies get painted from the underside.
How about a removeable custom paint job for your bag lids

My wife has used Hog Covers on her street glide since day one and they work very well to protect against lazy foot disease. Her bike is a 2012 ember red sunglo that shows paint defects readily and I can find zero scratches or rub marks on the bags. They look good and folks ask her about them wherever she goes.
It's different than those weird bra things kids put on their Honda Civics with the big wings and silly giant exhausts.
Apologies in advance for the thread necromancy

Thought about buying some sort of cover, for now just wax and Scratch-X for the boot scuffs. This stuff looks like it might be decent. Anyone try it?
