TriGlide Fender Bra

[Billr13]

I have had the fender bras on my red Tri-Glide for a year or so. I took them off and my fenders are scuffed up. Is there some way I can polish them out. I have used the scratch removed from Harley, didn't help. Thank you

I would try with wax , if that doesn’t do it then Maguires polish , then if not good Maguires compound

The real question is did the scratches go deeper than the clear coat. If only in the clear coat you have a chance. If below then it's a question of meditating or repainting.

Try a clay bar on the paint, it can work wonders

I had them on my 2016 trike. At first I was pretty good about slipping them off every month or so and cleaning/waxing under them. Even doing that, just prior to trading I had marks on the fenders from them. My marks were through the clearcoat, and I never could get them completely out. On my current 2019 trike I never put them on so I have nice rock chips instead of marks from the bras. I honestly think the only way to protect these fenders is to keep the darn thing in the garage.

I had thoughts about putting them on my 19 tri glide. And I heard about the marks they may well leave and I decided not to. Apparently they were right.

I do like my trike to look as good as possible, but after cleaning and polishing I just put them back on, cover up the scuffs and ride it. I prefer hidden scuffs over visible chips and nicks.

Had the bras on my 14 and they are not going on my 21, I might put the clear protector sheets.

Have them on my 21 and like them

I had 3m XPel clear paint protector put on mine in 2021 . So far no. Scratches or chips . XPel is self healing

The shop that bought my 14 TriGlide was going to take the fenders off and send them to the paint shop. They were bad.

I could not make up my mind on these, now I have some chips on my fenders, too late now, the good news is the chips are not big ones, I also think the Cerakote paint sealant has helped to minimise the damage
