Will this cover scratch the paint on my bike?

Absolutely not ! I own a Victory Vegas 8 ball (glossy black), and I've been using my Nelson Rigg everyday for one year : the paint still looks brand new !

No, I own 3 of these. One for my R6, and th other two for my mopeds, and it doesn't bit scratch the bike whatsoever. The inside is soft. The best cover I've found by far.

I have had no problems with this cover. It has not scratched my paint, or posed any other problems. It is a well designed, well made cover.

I certainly wouldn't use it as a trailering cover. With the XXL used on the Goldwing, it is hard to fold up the cover without it gettng on the ground. I follow a careful procedure of pulling it out and around one saddle bag, then the opposite side, then one mirror, then the opposite side and so on until I end up with a pile on the seat. I then try to find a clean table or tailgait to fold it up on. I'm sure it could pick something up and then slide around on the paint while you position it. I haven't noticed anything on the monochrome, bright yellow pearl on the Goldwing.

I use this for our blind dog and it has not scratched the paint or done any harm to the bike. I chose this particular one over the others because you can easily take it of and quickly put it back on. I do recommend checking the nuts before every run, sometimes they loosen a bit but we have never had a problem.

I would not suggest painting over it because, even with good paint, it will scratch off. However, you could sand it down first and then paint it and that should work.

It could scratch the finish if it slides at all. The bottom is all hard plastic. Much safer than metal. I wouold recommend putting a pad under it even a very thin one. This stand is great for tires without flaring knobs that are wide. I use it for such a bike, but didn't work with the bike I bought it for.

Probably not easily, although it wouldn't hurt for the cover to be lifted a bit if your lock has some latitude to it. The cover goes all the way over the bike. It's really up to you what you leave exposed.

Call the service dept and they will surely help. I have two of these on metal frame bikes and they can scratch, one thing you don't want to happen with carbon fiber. They have always been very helpful.

It may depend upon the floor, but I doubt it would scratch. Purchased for my granddaughter and they have hardwood throughout their house.

First of all you DO NOT COVER A BIKE WHEN BEING TOWED. If you cover the bike you have a very good chance of messing up the paint on the bike from the constant movement of the cover while traveling. Just like if you had a piece of plastic on furniture in back of a pick up truck.

NO!! This cover is meant to protect the bike when stopped over night when traveling or in storage.

I put it on my car and did not scratch my car. I had to get a cloth towel to protect a pedal from scratching my car. I put it on a miata and the pedal gets to close to the trunk.

I have a black bumper and have not removed yhe rack. I will say that it is pretty tight on the bumper so I guess it could scratch it. You could put down some kind of material between the rack and the bumper to prevent scratches. Hope this helps.

Yes, because there wont be a tight bond between the surfaces, the scratch will show. Not terribly, but no less noticeable.

I use it on mine all the time with no scratches or problem. I have been using it for over a year..

I did not use this on a bike. I did spray it on a metal pole and I may have not done it right but it was not reflective for me.

With my scratches, yes. I can't even see my scratches and there's no harm to the paint around it. My car is a 2012 Chevy Cruze.

Depends on your model but they should have a two magnets to hold it closed. The black nail Polish is touch up paint for minor scratches and the plastic pipe was to protect the bike during shipping
