Saddlebag lid protection

[JONNIEROCK]

        This has probably been covered before, but I was wondering what product most of you, who have covers, on their lids, use to protect the finish.
                 Thanks in advance Jonnierock

For covers, I use Lidcovers by Ridetek.  For protection under the covers, I make sure they are waxed good.

I have the HD covers, they are fine.  I have one lid that got beat up by the T Bag strap flopping in the wind, so I just put it on to cover the blemishes.  They do stay in place fine, just a bit of a PIA to get on right the first time with the pulling and streching required.

I have the HD ones.  They fit like a glove.  I use them when we travel to keep the OL's boot from scuffing the bag.  They certainly have helped avoid more than one roadside domestic dispute.

With any of the leather/vianl "bra" type covers, if you get dirt or grime under them it will eventually act like sandpaper and scuff them.  I know alot of people will call bull and say they've ridden 4 bizillion miles with this cover and it didn't leave a mark.  But I've seen the evidence and believe it can happen.  So if you don't want to take that chance you may want to look into a clear film protector.  Here's one:

there're others out there if you do a google search.  Just an option to consider.

Go to a place that does boat lettering ect Get some clear vinal stock and put it on the top of bag...protects it great and you still see the color of bag!!! Been doin it since 05! Also used it on top of tour pack so when I strap stuff to the rack it only scratches the clear plastic!!Works great!!
