preventing scratches?

[HDHoggly]

Hi all,
I am wondering what you may be using to prevent scratches in the rear fender area from shoes/boots where the passenger foot boards are. On my trike the boards and fender and associated body parts are so close they are almost integrated.
Thanks

You could try 3-m plastic like they use on the fenders etc.

Whenever I get scuff marks from my boots on the fender, I don't worry about it. They will wash off. If you are looking for no scuffs/scratches then trike should be in a museum. If ridden, just have fun.

I understand scratches will and do happen. I also understand I am the caretaker of my trike and if there are preventative measure I can take I will. I enjoy ride in bike shows and bike nights. Prior to the trike, with my last 2 wheeler I took every ride-in show I entered in the dresser class. I see no reason that I cant ride and enjoy by trike in the same manner I did with 2 wheels. Since getting the trike my wife and I have been making plans around things we can do and places to go on it.

I have the clear 3-M protector on my fenders. It does wonderfully at keeping scratches and chips out of the paint. I had it on my previous trike for over 6 years and it still looked good as new when I sold the trike.

My 3M takes a beating. I've only put 8,000 miles since triking it and there are many gouges in the 3M on both fenders.

Thanks all! Sounds like I need to fond the 3M stuff you are talking about

Where can we buy online enough to cover the fronts of the fenders? I tried the site listed above but could only find kits for specific cars or for door edge guards.
Thanks

I had the name of someone that sold the 3m kits, but it has been lost.
Does anyone know who it may be?
