The HD paint protection was a PIA when I used it but I do recoccomend some sort of protection on the rear fenders.

Yikes, that is sky high....I'm not interested at that price. I'd go with Tank Slapper, they have a kit that will fit most GWs and HD conversions I think. Looks like a not too difficult do it your self, and then figure out something for the fenders. Tank Slapper will probbly send you the size you need if you give them the dimensions of th cut you want.

I understand the need to want to protect the paint. I did it on my other TG's.

I bought my own 3M film and will put it on my newest TG this summer. I'm sure as hell NOT going to spend that kind of money(over $100). I paid $58 for enough film to do my fenders and have enough left to re-apply 4 or 5 more times. I'm really not that anal to worry about some chips in the paint. Now, if I lived where all the roads were unpaved, I would do something else - except use a fender bra. I personally hate those.

Putting the film just on the fenders is pretty easy - even I can do it. The fairing is a real PITA and I wouldn't even attempt it.

Gary where did you purchase your film. And what width did you get. The film for the fenders in the H-D PPF kit is not wide enough. I got some chips on the fender just outside the edge of the PPF. Interested to re-do with a bit wider film.

Here's another company, See Through Braz.

Agree 1000% with these people. Al and the gang have a great product and better customer service. Have ran their SeeThroughBraz product on my '13 for 6 years with no problems.

Also use their Velcro mounting system on my saddle bags. Have NEVER had one come loose or move around and no holes drilled in my outer fenders.

www.invisablemask.com is where I last bought some. If I remember I bought 24" wide x 60" long and it was around $58 but that was a while ago. I can't remember the thickness though.

I made my own templates so I could re cut the pieces whenever I wanted.

Anybody doing this clear film, I highly recommend doubling the bottom 8" or more on the front of the fenders. The paint shop that repainted my left fender twice suggested that. I also know that anything less then 12" wide is not enough. My first trike was an 11. I bought a kit & installed it. The kit was aprox. 8" x 24" it was easy to install, but only because it did not cover the radius on the fender. I had a few chips just outside the coverage area. Once I had it repainted I paid an installer to do what I suggested above. Aprox. 200-250 Well worth it to me. I have had 3 trikes & I did all of them that way & have not had any more chips. I'm getting a new 20 the first of spring & that will be one of the first things I have done.

You can get different thicknesses. So you don't have to layer.

Gary, I had the 8mil. I have had two of the best brands & at the time that was as thick as offered.

I'm kinda just hoping that the fact that I wax my bike all the time, [every rainy day] that with amounts of wax, that I have on it will stop any road chips... Yea I know "I'm dreaming"

Surprised I haven't seen anyone post the spray on Paint protection.

If anyone has does it work for chips etc?
