skinindustries Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Just be careful it will scratch the paint right off. So watch your feet when you go to get on the bike oher then that it is pretty flexible i can take my rear fender and bend it down a bit and it dont crack.

Yeah I do of trail riding do you think it would still be ok, meaning like if a thin branch slapped up against it prob would take the paint off?

fastrthnu Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 as long as you did a good prep scuff and cleaned it really well with no trace of dirt/grease, it should be fine. I put 2 layers of clear over mine too so if it scratches, the clear gets it, and if its not deep, it can buff out. Even the underside that get pelted with stone n mud stayes good, after wash n all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
