Good question! Honestly, never even crossed my mind.

Really the front lip would be taking the most road rash. Once it gets scraped on the bottom I wonder how it would hold up?

Never to late!!

I don't think so. Considering they usually come cleared new. Just make sure to chose a quality shop that uses quality clear. We used Sikkens on ours

I have done a few for myself and had friends do theirs. Never had any issues with cracking

On my ISF Toms front I put velcro on the bottom to protect it..Soft side down of course. It worked really well.

Exclamation NOVEL for GSF

Cant wait to here a clip AFTER FULL NOVEL system Install.

Something to mention! With the Novel exhaust system you won't get a check engine light
