saddleman fender bras

[Texas grizz]

Has anyone installed these I just picked up a 2014 T/G and bought a set it keeps talking about the hooks in the instructions but they are a flat piece of metal, I take it you bend these to form a hook? Any help greatly appreciated.

I'm not familiar with those but Welcome to Trike Talk! I'm sure someone will be along to help you out.

Don't know if they are designed like the Harley bras of not. The Harley bras have a "hook" or plastic loop in the top/back that goes under the tail light assembly. It stays flat and does not need bent. If that is not what you are talking about or Saddlemen is different then disregard my ramblings.

There are other "bra" threads with a lot more pages of info. Look them up.

Me personally - I hate them and can't understand anyone that wants to cover up a great looking paint job with a bunch of faux leather.

I have been using the 3M clear see through film on my fenders and forks for years. Works great, looks great and cost less.

PS, I belonged to a Corvette club so I'm well aware of the problems with "bras". When's the last time you saw an exotic car with a bra??? :Coffee:

Good Luck

I also would not use them. Grit can get between bra & body. Can act like sandpaper & really ruin a paint job. Use the "clear stuff" that sticks on. That way paint is protected & you can still see the color. I had it put on at Dealer when I bought the Tri. Now 20,000 miles later, no discolor & no chips. Tuff stuff.

Just like with women.....some look good with bras and some don't. Just like that bra needs to be taken off once and awhile and that body underneath there needs some attention. I think my Harley bras look really good. I take them off every now and then and slowly wash/dry them babies. When I'm done admiring how good they look naked then I put the bras back on.

You brought a smile to my face this morning - Thank You. ThumbUp

I run a pair of HD bras on my TG. Really like the look of it. Having experience what they can do to a paint job on a Corvette I contacted Al at SeeThroughBraz and he fixed me up with their clear paint protection film to cover the tops and sides of my fenders. I still run a cloth under the edges to remove trapped dirt and road scum. Also take them off every 60-90 days to clean them and the film.

Guess ya might say I like the mystery of having 'em covered and taking off the bra myself.

So - To answer your question unlike the others.....Yes....you bring them to the bottom and bend to keep them tight.
