I installed one panel of the 3M clear bra film. The area which is abutted by the seat is now protected. Scoobynut's tutorial was invaluable but there is definitely a learning curve to stretching and squeegeeing the material.

Patience, patience and lots of soapy water.

I like the result and thank Scooby a lot.

Stretching the film is the key. It took a while to figure out how to stretch the film and squeegee the bubbles out.

Today my CB has been completed for now. I took the bike to Jerome, Arizona with some friends. I installed an Airhawk 2 (the cheaper version) and it makes all the difference . I also installed the Rox 2 inch risers and the fatigue in my back is much less.

Placed the rest of my 3M clear bra on the tank to protect it from the tank bag. 340 miles, and ready for the summer season.

Thank you Ferret.

Still mulling the gaiters. I am not certain removing all of those front wheel items is within my abilities.
