Flhtci fairing cover

alright. gotta a new 12 flhtc. gonna stay ahead of the game. bought saddlebag covers from hogcovers. the shops sezs not the smartest thing. seems dirt n vibration make for good sanding disc. so i am gonna return the covers. did get leather covers for the saddle bags and also going to install clear plastic sticking things over the bags to prevent boot marks. now got a leather fairing cover for the road trips mainly but a lil apprehensive bout puttin it on taking a trip, it rains, dirt gets under there and vibration n sandpaper in the fairing. so i ask with all the years of wisdom o great ones, what the general consensus on fairing covers yea r na? some good insight would be greatly appreciated. obtw 103 motor stage 1 v/h 4 inch hi output exhaust n header, power comander 5 and woods 555 can't wait to wfo this mutha.

not a big fan of the fairing covers. I put rails on the top of the saddle bag lids, a rack for the top of the trunk..that'll keep most stuff from contacting it. some of the clear stuff may be ok but for the fairing, lots and lots of wax.

Wax everything and keep about 3 coats on the fairing and lids. Slap people who kick the lids. 'works great,looks great. JMO Good luck with the new ride.
