Yeah me too, I saw a bike that was Rhinolined a while back, it had been in a wreck but the fairing looked pretty good considering how bad the wreck was. But it had that textured look. If Speedliner is just as good and can go on smooth then I'd get it on mine.

i dont know man, i had some stuff similar to this on my yzf 450 dirt bike and it looked good, but didnt last very long- maybe thats just because there was rocks and dirt thrown on it, but as far as protecting from road rash, dont think it would hold up- install sliders-
