Any one have experience with the film ( maybe mylar ) lid protectors.Seen displays at dealers,but never picked up a brochure.Kind of like the stone shield that comes on some new cars.Had it on trucks & seems to last forever.

Have the product on my bike and it has already proved its value. One scratch is all it would take for you to wish you had the film installed. If you already have that scratch, the film will make it nearly invisible. Be sure it is installed by someone who knows what they are doing. Outstanding for fairings as well.

Thanks,Had a girl drop her helmet on a lid already.

3M protective film works well.

I have the 3M protective film on my car and it does work well. The nice thing about the motorcycle armor is it is custom cut for HD applications.

Nothing to take a picture of.Little scuff & transfered some black crap from her helmet to the bag lid.Couldn't go to bed 'till I had it cleaned up & waxed.Looks like the cyclearmor is the answer.

Odds are it's the same material, just custom die cut for the specific application.  There are many companies selling the 3M film for auto's, including die cut kits.  I've also seen a few that offer die cut kits for Harley's, cut to fit fairings, lowers, fender, front of bags, etc.

The secret to all of these products is the installation.  Sort of like installing window tint, if you don't know what you're doing it will be very obvious when you're finished.

I put some on my gas tank last week, I tend to ride the tank with my legs.
Worried about wearing the clear and paint off after time.

Pictures would not work.....you can hardly see it. Chances are you won't see it unless you know it's there.

I hope it works as good as it looks. I may have to do it again if the placement is incorrect. I will know after this weekend.

I also intend to put some behind the passenger "pillow" it's rubbing a little on the TP and I know it will work well back there.

You can buy it in rolls if you want, probably a good idea for you Larry B.....good to have in the shop.

I have read most of these posts regarding protective film.  This subject began with a customer testimony regarding Motorcycle Armor, a product that is custom engineered to cover and protect Harley Davidson touring model saddlebag lids.  We did a custom install on a CVO belonging to Mark Bierle, a member of this site and a CVO owner in Sturgis.  Somehow it was diverted to 3M protective film.  Motorcycle Armor is not 3M film.  It is a proprietary product with patents pending, owned by Motorcycle Armor.  

The adhesive in MA film contains similar chemicals as the clear coat applied to paint finishes, less the hardeners.  The result of using MA is that it not only protects the surfaces, it effectively  "repairs" exiting scuffs and minor scratches . .  resulting in a surface that looks newly painted! I have attached a pic showing a lid that is completely scratched, showing only 1/2 MA film, which effectively "heals" existing scratches . .   it is scratched the same under the film!

You can look at our website: www.motorcyclearmor.com  and see an install video. The install is simple . .  not to be compared with the difficulty experienced with window film.  In addition, we offer a lifetime warranty . . .  meaning that at any time the film is damaged, as often as you require, replacements are sent at no charge, other than the cost of postage. This warranty is fully transferable to subsequent owners of your motorcycle if you sell it!  You can order the film for your saddlebag lids on our website also - the kit comes with complete easy to follow instructions and all that you need to make the installation.  If you need this innovative film for other motorcycle parts, just order the kit and cut to film to the spec you need.   The website has an email contact point if you have further questions, or contact me at michael@motorcycle-armor.com
