Re: Protect fender from saddle bags.
I cut the leg off a pair of sweat pants, turned soft side out, and put it under the saddlebag yoke. I poked a couple of holes in the legs and laced it a little so it can't slip. Still there after 16 years.

Re: Protect fender from saddle bags.
Used a piece of soft leather for many years, it works well.Another option would be clear vynel.Any graphics/sign shop can cut you a square to apply to the rear fender.
If the bags will be going on alot, this is a good option.When the vynel gets scuffed up simply remove it and apply another piece. |

Re: Protect fender from saddle bags.
The idia behind the clear vynel is that its very thin.Maybe as thick again as the clear thats already on the bike.
If you have any local leather dealer they can hook you up. |

Re: Protect fender from saddle bags.
The shop that sprayed my truck bedliner also "sheets" vehicles with clear plastic. They have a computerized cutter & can wrap your entire car, truck, van...etc. to protect it from the elements. Maybe you can find one in your area (look in yellow pages for vehice wraps) & see if they can cover your fender. I wouldn't think it would be too $pendy...Good Luck!

Re: Protect fender from saddle bags.
Riders warehouse has some precut squares of vinyl. I think two big squares are about $12.00. You may be able to look around a bit and find something cheaper. I use a piect on top of my left saddlebag to keep it from getting scuffed when my wife gets on.
