    Thanks custom skins,
    Look foward to hearing about the deals you will have. As I spend a lot of time cutting mine from the 3M rolls as it could potentially save me a lot of time.

    Cheers

    Yes when are these deals going to happen? As I want to do some on my bike as soon as I can.

    Lets Get Graphic here in Chch do these same computer cut ventureshield kits, so no big deal. Some of the best money I've spent, definitely a lot better value for money than crash bobbins.

    I had my Bike protected with the 3m stuff 6 years ago after a paint touch up. Its great, no stone chips. Polish other parts of bike like normal and use Plexus on the plastic protection. Brings it up mint.

    Ah but Crash Bobbins are there for a different job. Paint protection film is there to do just that, protect the paint from stone chips and wear from gear etc. Crash bobbins are installed to protect against damage from a fall which will also ensure your paint protection film is still intact. Trust me, even a small tip over in a garage can stuff the protection film....experience has taught me that.

    It's a lot better value in as much as you reap the benefits every time you ride. The only time my crash protection does me any good is when it gets me home from wherever I've tipped, that's all it does. The film stops me getting stone chips on any given day. Hell given I have roadside rescue etc, I could do without the crash protection completely (and on most of my bikes I do)... lets face it, even a tip at no speed is a visit to the insurance company (for new bobbins/skid plates/bar end/lever, if nothing else), so if it doesn't save me from sitting around waiting for a tow truck, it's both ugly and worthless. Thus, better value for money.

    Read and understood but they could make the difference between rightoff and fix. You are correct though. I have paint protection and no crash bobbins on both bikes. Need the bobbins for the one going to the track where there will be no insurance cover. Not sure about worthless but I humbly agree.......................

    Only worthless when it's doing nothing but looking ugly mind!

    I'm not sure whether I'd prefer write off or fix. If they fix it, it's still my original one owner bike I guess, elbeit a bit raped (i.e. the scars are on the inside) . I think my preference would be just to take the money, add the short fall, and get another new one.
