Re: clear protective film

[phil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Does anyone have any idea how to remove those horrible smears to the shine
(without resorting to anything too harsh), caused by my cordura jeans where
my inside knees rest against the tank.  I've got lots of little jobs to do
on the bike this winter and I'd like to remove them before I put on the 3m
film that Eric supplied me.

Yours in ignorance

Sections - too many complex curves for one piece. I run a large piece from
the seat up to about 3" from the filler neck. Due to the many angles
involved it took me quite a while to get it all down. I supply a smaller
template in the kit and recommend maybe even a little smaller still for
ease  of installation. I then have a couple of larger pieces in the knee
area of the tank and then I cover several spots on the front of the rear
fairing where the bottom half of the leg rests.

Once you do a couple of the smaller ones, you should have no problems with
the larger patterns. The important thing is to take your time and double
check everything before cutting. After that it is pretty easy work.
