Clear paint protection film

Post by Stu »

Been doing a search for some new clear protective film for the bike but keep drawing a little bit of a blank!

Mine already has it fitted on but its showing signs of age and was never fitted great in the beginning

I am looking for a full kit to replace it all but most I find are either just the front, The tank or some other bits between!

I also want the side panels fully covered as they are now and not just the front part of the panel!

The companies that have been posted on here before either don't exist anymore or are in the states

I also want a full pannier kit too

So if anyone has any recommendations for a UK company then please post away :)

I got some from this firm. Fair result considering I'm cack handed.

Dont think they do a kit for the whole bike.

Non UK however.

Thanks @MikeS

They are cheap too!

The more I think about it there is only really a few panels that need it as I have a motografix kit on too which I am going to have to replace too.

The previous owner has put on the clear film then the motografix kit on top which may be a bit overkill!

I used this company for my Tiger 1050. Quality film. They also sell on Ebay
