    Default Affordable clear bra etc.

    Search bar gets me threads like the ITAR thread when searching "clear bra" and 3m wrap, so I may be missing the thread.

    Need to get my fancy bike protected. Bit of a challlenge with all the curves in the front but I want to at least add more tank and some of the larger forward surfaces.

    Assuming clear bra still best. Stuff like ceramic coat is more for ease of washing.

    Anyone know someone that isn't a fortune NOCO thru north/central Denver?

    There isn't such a thing as affordable clear bra unless you do it yourself which is a PITA.

    Brian does good work here but it's spendy: http://clearimagetintsclearbra.com/

    Six years and 12K miles on my current bike and I doubt you?ll find a chip anywhere. Not sure how necessary the clear bra is.

    I looked at doing it on a couple of my bikes as well but given the cost (I think $500-$800) it would be cheaper to paint touch ups.

    Within the first day I had a chip high on my tank from some freak sideways gravel from the highway. Kawasaki paint seems to be notoriously thin/fragile too.

    I imagine paint chips are a lot less of a problem since the CDOT and many county and city road departments have gone away from using sand for winter road maintenance. I sure like the clear membrane on my wife's car and wish my older truck had it. Motorcycles are lower and more susceptible to pitting. Too bad there isn't a user friendly clear heat shrink material that can be applied. I wonder if powder coating fenders, fairings and tanks wouldn't be more durable?
