Had to go check the package to remember for sure AJ.  A place called StickerCity out in Van Nuys.

Here's a link to the product itself:

I'd remembered the price wrong too.  The 3m version was $121.94 for a precut kit to do the whole bike.

Don,
that is where I got mine also. Still sitting in roll tube. The cost now for kit is $99. see:

John, it's $99 for a product called "Ventureshield."  Click the option to get the 3M product and it comes up to the higher price.

Mine's still setting in the tube too.  A weekend project this weekend I hope.

Don,
My bad, should have known better than to doubt you! John

Not knowing squat (a very technical measure equating to "beans," "bubkus," or "zilch") about either of them I was tempted to order the cheaper stuff.  But a couple of more experienced souls here had already told me the 3M stuff was the way to go.  Having to specifically look for it as a result was the only reason I found the difference there either.

Flying solo and not having guidance of the gurus here I made the plunge and got the cheaper version (actually did not realize there were two qualities available!) Live and learn as usual. I guess since it still sits in roll tube has not had great emotional impact on me!!!  Still would consider putting on fairing if nothing else. Waiting for Rogers report on final cleaning and waxing, John

Initial impression is great as expected.  When I get my front forks back I'll be able to get some road miles on it and see how it holds up.  However, with cars traded in that have thousands of miles on them the product holds up great.

I went with the whole package and it is not noticeable from a few feet.

Still waiting on the was spray.

I have around 5-600 miles and bugs on it, the other day I was cleaning the wind screen with some glass cleaner.

I had a good amount of bug gunk on the fairing so I just sprayed it down with the glass cleaner as I was in a hurry.  Let it soak and wiped it off with a micro fiber.  Good as new.

It will never have the appearance of freshly waxed paint that shines and is 6 feet deep, but as far as prtecting the paint and looking very good and making clean up a breeze I am very happy with it.

I installed it on 5 Porsche deliveries this week, it is the trade off of rock chips and wear and tear versus a little reduction in appearance.  I still get compliments galore on the bike and the paint so it works for me.

I just had my Red '07 SEUC done. Looks GREAT! I think it really made the red & gold colors pop up and looks deeper than it did (IMHO). Local guy here in KC is a dealer for XPEL. Did a really good job, very careful to make sure everything is clean, clean, clean. My only regret is that I didn't get my truck done BEFORE it got all chipped & scratched.

What did he charge to do the Glide?

[hard10]

I was just reading this thread half an hour ago wondering if I could find someone here in SC to do it.

[nixobilly]

... And in Houston....

Glare is great but I'm tired of wax on - wax - off....

These installers are they a chain in other states? I'm in Chicago and would be intrested in having my 03 SERK done?

I found this local guy thru XPEL's website dealer locator. It was $350 for the fairing, front and top of the saddlebags, side covers, and the top of the front fender. And it was the real 3M film too.

They have another kit that has the tank and lower fairings included, and I'll probably have the lowers done later.

Just went to the X-pel website and looked up motorcycles and they do not even list HD. Also they only listed a couple of Auto paint shops in my area that do the applications. I really prefer a bike dealer to do it?
