Clear Bra?

[DrQ]

Anyone know who will clear bra my bike in town? I live in Aurora...

[livinlife2themax]

hte cheapest is to buy it off of ebay, and do it yourself. It is not hard to do.

[DrQ]

Really it's that easy? I'm concerned about not getting it right somehow. A local guy at Sunsation Tint wants to charge me $200 just to do the tank.

[Sully]

Is a Clear Bra really worth the effort ? Just curious.. ?

[DrQ]

1. Clear bra on tank to protect from tank bag & equipment scratches.
2. Clear bra on other areas to protect from road dings preserves resale value and that 'new bike look'

Can you put clear bra on plastic fairings? I only thought you could put it on the metal tank...

[dallas]

I want to clear bra my rear upper fairing so I can put on my soft sided saddle bags. I am planning a couple long road trips and I don't want the saddle bags to rub my paint.

Can you put clear bra on plastic fairings? I only thought you could put it on the metal tank...

Clear bra is just a big clear sticker. It can go over almost any surface.

Go to Performance Cycle! They sell 3M clear bra in sheets (12"x20") use a little soapy water and it will stick just fine to the fairings. I put some on my tank and lower farings because my leathers were "buffing" the clear coat so bad. The sheets are like 6 bucks, mine turned out pretty good considering my bike's black.

Just make some "templates" out of paper and transfer them over to the 3M after you trim and check the templates a couple times. Get a spray bottle and apply it just like window tint. :)

[DrQ]

Laying over curved surfaces doesn't result in folding/kinking?

[konichd]

I have no clue, I just cut it out and in my case it was all applied to a flat surface. But spending 20 bucks is alot cheaper than 200. If you take your time it should turn out pretty decent. It might not look as "professional" as a clear bra installer's, but who cares? :)

DK-

And under the lights at the Shell, no one will notice the homemade application either.

[konichd]

How could they see it with all the fuckin' neon I gots lite up under my bitch? :dunno:

Ladies, feel free to post pics of yourself and or friends wearing your "clear bra"

Found complete clear bra kit for my bike, pre-cut pieces for good price.

I've always used the kits form these guys :

Templates fit well and they offer any help necessary to get a perfect finish. They'll even mix and match the platics as much as you wish for a kit so the high wear areas can be trimmed in 3M sheet, while lower risk areas can still have some level of protection without breaking the bank.

[DrQ]

Nice alternative & better price. Purchased full kit for FJR for $90.

For anyone that doesn't feel up to a do-it-yourself kit there is a guy at Performance Wheel and Tire that does it for not too much money. He has done it for a long time and is pretty damn good.

[DrQ]

what's his name/contact info?

[Polar X]

What he said.



also does he supply the stuff or do you have to get it and have him install it?

[UglyDogRacing]

Terry Teske does clear bra- 303 898 4167

[InlineSIX24]

The guy at Perf. Wheel & Tire was Frank and he has all the materials. You just call their main # and ask to get a hold of him. performancewheel.com

[DrQ]

Thanks everyone. The materials should be here Friday. I'll call these guys to see if they'll put it on.

[DrQ]

Performance Wheel & Tire ... Tuesday install ... Ventureshield.

[DrQ]

Just had Ventureshield put on the bike @ Performance Wheel & Tire. Agye Spencer did the work. Excellent & highly recommended. 4095 S. Santa Fe Drive. Sheridan, CO 80110. 303-934-2929.

[Polar X]

Parts covered and cost please..:)

[DrQ]

Bought the Ventureshield through www.stickercity.com (http://www.stickercity.com) for $94 (after shipping). Full set includes headlights, mirrors, tank (top & sides), front fender, center middle fairing & fairing behind front tire & section of sides. Install $140.

[livinlife2themax]

so the install alone was $140 for total cost $234 ...or total was $140?

[Polar X]

thanks, just curious if you priced it with him using his 3M stuff? $140 to install seems kinda high but then again I am not sure how long it really takes.

Thanks for the info

[DrQ]

Venture shield is the material, considered superior to 3M in some respects (greater durability & no border discoloration), for price of $94. The install price was 2hrs @ 70 per hour. So this totals $234.

[konichd]

I would have kept your 234 bucks.

[rider955i]

thanks sprocket I just used that link I hope this fixes my prob I had. My jacket was rubbing tank even with the pro grip tank pad.

[Spr0cket]

Interested to learn how the application goes.
Also happy to offer what limited advice I can if you have any troubles.

[rider955i]

I ended up geetting it done by shawwn at http://www.irestorationsinc.com/site/Html/paint.html It turned out pretty good and it looks great.
