No not that kinde. <img src="images/smilies/lurking smilie.gif" border="0" alt="" title="lurker" class="inlineimg" /> Thinking of a bra for my GL 1800 Motor trike. Two Questions. For any one who has them. Do they Clean up Ok ? Like getting the bugs off. Use water, or what? Second, Ive seen them in two sections (Motortrike brand) and one complete piece (from Dennis kirk co.)<br />
<br />
Any user of either.? Like or dislikes ?
 
I ride with a Bra on most of the time. I bought it from Cyclemax. I use it to keep the bugs and nicks of my bike. I spray it with peroxide, let it melt the bugs away. then wipe it off. I put Armorial on, it keep a shine on it. It works for me. Be safe and enjoy the ride. Larry

</div>On the Motor Trike I had I got mine from them. (with out logo) Two piece always washed them with soap and water,let them dry,armoralled them and put them back on.

Don't putem on wet and ride. RIDE SAFE
 
I have the "front nose mask" from <a href="http://www.wingstuff.com" target="_blank">www.wingstuff.com</a> (do a search on that site), and have had it on my bike for years. It cleans pretty easy with stuff like Honda cleaner & polish and it's fairly easy to get on and off. I would definitely buy another one if I needed one. The only thing I don't like about it is the way it fastens in the very back on each side. You have to stretch it and slide it under the tupper-ware strip. I've never had the ends come out, but I have had to push it in tighter every once in a while.
 
Sure, bra

The important thing to remember that dirt and grime will work its way between the cover and the paint. As the wind works on the cover, it will wear on the paint. It will work through the clear coat and paint. I used the 3m film over the paint and then put the on the cover.
 
Peroxide ! As I remember my daughter used that to BLEACH her hair. And if some spilled on her jeans - it bleached them as well.<img src="http://www.triketalk.com/forum/images/smilies/smiley%20confused.gif" border="0" alt="" />

</div>This is an excellent point. If you put it on you must leave it on for the reasons you mention. I had a bra on a Civic one time and took it off after a year cause it wasn't doing my paint any good at all. On the next car, and my Trike, I went with Xpel vinyl.
 
I am in the process of de-chroming my trike. It has the chrome windshield garnish and chrome lower nose piece. If I cannot find someone to trade for the OEM black one I have considered the bra. One other thing to consider is plasti-dip. Less than $10 a can. Easy to spray on, then if it begins looking bad, peel it off and do a new application. Lots of YouTube videos on how to use. Just a thought.

I just put See Through Braz on my Roadsmith, they do a great job protecting the fenders and they are almost invisible.
Get hold of Meredith or Al at SeeThroughBraz (sponsor on this forum)... You'll be much happier especially after a long ride in the rain, dust and wind you realize the bra has rubber spots in you paint that only a re-paint will cure.

If you insist on the bra look, be sure and clean very good under it after every ride and keep a lot of good wax on your paint.

I run fender bras because I like the look. Al and the guys have a protective setup that fits under the bra that prevents it from rubbing on the paint. The bra rides on the protective film and NOT the paint.

You'll be much happier with the SeeThrough protective film.
