If you haven't already made your choice another vote for the mustangs....can't tell you what they do to the paint cos i never plan on taking them off.

The OL got me the Kuryakan covers. I like the way they look. Just wonder if the tabs that velcro to the inside of the lid will wick water in if it rains.

Anyone have any experience with these?

I don't care for the "bra" look or the issues with the paint. I'm thinking of chrome rails with the LED lights in the rear. Protect the lids and make me more visible. Win - win.

INVISIBLEMASK.COM 3M clear as used on cars and trucks. Only had one person notice them. Cut to size , easy to install/remove, lets the color show through. If you use a paste wax it will show around the edges. I use "insulator wax" exclusively. Hope this helps.

I have the Mustangs, and they seem to fit a lot better than the Hd ones.

.... i went w/the HD covers years ago, before looking into alternatives.
.... They've been good protection for the lids and haven't created any issues w/the paint.
..... The glue under the velcro attachment points can slip in hot weather when the bras are stretched tight on install. Also, after 5 yrs, the covers themselves seem to be shrinking just a bit, which makes for a less than perfect fit.
...... The HD covers have done their job, though i'd likely go w/different style if I were to replace them today.
