Heidi's EXCELLENT Adventure.

Can anybody tell me about the paint skins? brand name, price.... I think I'd like to put some of these on the bike, protect against the stone chips.

Hey Missy, the latest Rapid mag has some info on a guy on the central coast that does fitting but i'm sure he'd freight but sounds like a good kit.....as for the couch look i think i'd only want the front fender and any front edges covered but be worth having a look at one fitted. cheers

sorry the info is in the article Project Busa toward the back.

Trust me Missy Moo, if u get the skins fitted, do the lot!. My ltd edition got peppered bad, the Kanji and the red stripe both sides have white showing through them, the stickers are thin and so is the paint. I wilol be making a claim. If I get new panels or I respray the originals, I will be putting several coats of clear on them then putting those skins on them. I know up ur way there is a lot of small blue metal gravel stones on those back roads, even sitting 100 metres back from another bike or truck, u will get stone chips!.

Cheers,
Tex & Bundy

That guy from 3M Clear Armour who has started the kits hasn't had a chance on the busa's yet. But is looking into it.

Yep the bluestone is crap - you just get peppered! & that's on the bruce hwy (HWY 1) is just full of it!

When going up near Cairns I got bouldered man! I got done by a few chunks the size of golf balls and one tennis ball size nicked me in the shin - christ I went cross eyed for a moment. Had a lovely bruise that impressed the bf.

Hence I'd seen the stickers area is a bit on the thin side, Once I line it all up I'll be thinking of the clear coat and then maybe the clear armour.

Cheers guys
