why not just ask the dealer not to uncrate it and leave it in the box. The H-D shipping crates have a cutout on one end you can look in through

This is great!
Brian is back!
That dry sense of humor.
That, "I'm sending a zinger their way and wonder if they can figure that one out" attitude.
And if they don't I don't give a rats a$$.

We been missing you buddy!
Glad your back!

Well I think I may have figured the zingers that have been thrown my way. And I realize that there are people that don't take measures or feel that they are necessary to protect their investments and or purchases from the elements. Much like a bird don't build a roof over its nest. Its brain is not wired to think like that.

The protective film is quite popular with the sport touring crowd ( BMW / Yamaha FJR )  not a bad way to keep your paint preserved on long trips .  To me it isn't about re-sale as much as pride in your ride

hdhiwayman,
                 Whatever I think or don't think about a particular subject should not be construed to be targeted at either the individual who started the thread or perhaps the person who defends/denigrates a subject the most, but rather just my personal feelings on the subject. I think that has come through in the 4,656 posts I've made. My feelings on this particular subject are strong I admit, but anyone who knows me and knows my motorcycles also knows that even the slightest hint that I don't care for them is not only off the mark, but borders on a personal insult. I have been involved in this thing we call the " Biker Lifestyle " at every level and in almost every capacity short of professional racer for 40 years. The paint / finish of every single one of my motorcycles was of paramount importance to me in choosing either a factory built vehicle or in custom building one. I have sitting on my desk in front of me a trophy for Best Paint won at a Statewide Motorcycle show in Maine. I cherish that trophy because I put in excess of 100 hours of labor in to welding, grinding, sanding and painting every single square inch of the frame, fenders, gas tank and wheels. I have always favored paint schemes that draw even the casual observer into the vehicle so that they might take note of all of the small details I incorporate into my vehicles. I have won Best of Show at Bike shows here in California as well as People's Choice awards both here and in Maine. In short, I think I am qualified to state what does and does not belong on a motorcycle from the standpoint of what looks good. My point in posting on this thread while admitedly sarcastic was also to perhaps alert the unsuspecting to the fact that while this product may well indeed protect your pride and joy from the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, it does not look good.
