I'm runnin' naked at the moment since the respray. The parts list I have doesn't list that bit as a separate piece (though it does show it visually broken out)

Link It should in the long run be cheaper.
This is what I use on the radiator and front of lower part of front fork etc. It work brilliant, and can easily be replaced when it becomes too dull.

All very interesting. My mind flew from "tape the entire bike" to "is it possible to make a bike out of duck tape."
Must send to Mythbusters. (and have more coffee)

Thanks Pete, yes I did but I've got new and very expensive paint, I would like to do this once with the right thing and the right shape and fuggedaboutit, .... I originally posted because I just wondered whether any of our transatlantic cousins knew whether their local suppliers had any in stock.

Have a look at this kit. I have fitted the full protection kit, although I think there are still some extra areas which need to be covered it is a good start.

On flat areas it is very easy, the kit comes. With a bottle of soapy liquid, and a squeegee it is simply a case of wetting the film as you remove the backing, place it, squeeze the water out from behind and allow to dry.
Where I had a problem was on curves such as the front of the tank. Before I bought the kit I spoke to the suppliers who said the film needs to be stretched over curved areas, but I couldn't get it to sit flat and ended up with areas where it had come unstuck. I phoned the suppliers, and the answer was that I had not been brave enough with the initial stretching. When I pulled it off and reapplied, but with further stretching it has gone on with no problems at all, although on one panel I now think i haver over stretched the material, but it has not affected the protection it provides.

Thanks guys , I already have the "fenda extenda" but it still doesn't stop everything hitting the bottom edge of the rad cover, ... anyway I was a lucky bugger Jack Lilley called to say he's had one sent in by Triumph .... despite still being listed as out of stock !!!
Thatch if you want one try their mail order line, I've used them loads of time very helpful and knowledgeable.
