Default 3M Clear bra? Anyone?

Anyone have of these? I saw one website had kits for a bit then never again. Has anyone ever tried to get a big sheet and cut out their own? Do they even offer something like this? Bad experiences with clear bra's?

Thank you

Where I live, there is a company that comes to your home and clear bras cars, bikes, etc for a great price. Maybe look for a similar service. All of the acid green pieces plus rear brake light were done for $167 USD.

I got mine from tankslapper.com, two options one 3M one stactic film. All pre cut fits great includes undertail. I think it was around 90 bucks took about two hours to install.

Full 3M kit from tankslapper...
Was easy enough to install but I screwed the Tank Top and now waiting for Lucas if he can provide only that piece...
I feel its good where it is... cutting the pieces will be pain but if you get it right, i see no issues with that either... I am actually thinking to cut and put some more pieces on lower fairings...

Hey Poodie, I was looking for the same thing and found out that Lamin-X do a kit for the S1K. I have tried them before on my car and their products are very good. Here's a link BMW S1000RR (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012) Paint Protection Complete Kit
Hope this helps!

Ride fun...ride safe!

Won't these kits leave sun lines where the film isn't? That's why I won't put any on my 5'er

Hey Cape, I've had the lamin-x kit in my car for almost a year. I've removed it and detail the car and re-applied a different kit from Ziebart (local shop --> wont have to import the kit on my expense and they use the same materials as lamin-x, the 3m stuff). And there were no lines. Further more, i know of many supercar owners who use these, some even install them on their cars as they roll of the lot and I have never heard or seen any complaints concerning any lines forming.

Cheers!

Rafic.

Good to know. Could be something worth investing money in
