I have Nelson Rigg and the protective pad does a nice job. They were bigger and cheaper than th JR's.

I think Cortechs are supposed to be easy on the paint as well. I have their tailbag and it is first rate. Considering buying the matching saddlebags. Prices are decent.

I'm thinking they all will (rip up the paint) unless there is something keeping them off the bike. I dont think there is anything that is soft enough to completely prevent the paint from being destroyed, especially when you consider dust or dirt getting in there. One option might be to use some helicopter tape or other 3M product (maybe tank slapper would work) to put on the bike between the bag and the bike.

Thats pretty much why I went with hard bags, my joe rockets destroyed the paint on my VFR (at least it was a rat bike so I didnt care that much)

Thats a great idea with the tank slapper stuff. Thanks.


Can't get the RKA's here, and heading out tommorow, so probably gonna go with the Joe Rockets afterall.

The tail rack in the other thread looks great too.  Might check that out.


Thanks

Do you have any problems with them damaging the paint job?
