NEED MORE BLING? (Chrome Protector Trims).

Post by el-nicko »

At 325mm long x 22mm wide I recon a couple of these stuck on the side of the pannier lids might stop 'em collecting so many scratches. :wink: They're flat and sticky-backed and are just pressed on to follow the curve of the bodywork. :)

Mr. Spock is my role model so be advised; I possess no (discernible) sense of humour.

It's all VFR (DCT) round here now. STILL missing my 1100s tho.

Do you have a link to those mate?
I'm in the middle of spraying my 'Touring' lids so if I get a good 'result' I'll be looking at these or something similar to preserve the finish.. :)

Funnily enough Nick I've been looking for them for ages but there doesn't seem to be the universal stuff available any more :(
