stick'em seat on flat black paint?

[NOLA_BigDog]

I finally got my passenger peg bracket and stick seat but im worried that the suction cups will leave marks on my flat black paint.... any input?

factory highly recommends and warns AGAINST the use of a stick-on seat on a flat paint job. so much so that it is stated in the service manual and i think also in the owners manual.

Don't feel that the suction cups will work well without gloss finish paint. Sorry.

i have a flat back ridgeback and the suction cups work well, but be warned, you will notice some smudging of the paint. i use stripper juice polish when i take the pad off and it hides it pretty good.

Not sure how it would look on flat black, but I use the 3M adhesive tape shield between my p-pad and rear fender. Without it, found that suction cups kept leaving marks on fender.

Pull the fender and have it powder coated flat black!

Yes it will. If you find a way for it not to let us know.

their main concern is not the marking of the paint, it is the loss of suction/adhesion and the possibility of the passenger falling off.

that'll leave a mark!
