Can I apply Micro-Swirl edging to part of my shield?
Generally its best if the edging goes completely around the shield. You can stop a few inches from the bottom without effecting performance but the application does not look finished.

How much edging do I need?
The best way to check for correct edging lengths is to use a string or tape along the outside of the shield. Since factory specifications vary its better if you measure. After measuring, round up to the nearest foot or ½ foot *. It is usually best both from an esthetic and performance standpoint to have the edging go completely around the shield. You can also use the Application Guide...this guide is compiled from customer feed back and may not be accurate. To ensure correct length, please measure your shield. Saeng/TA cannot be held responsible for incorrect measurements. *Minimum order is 3 feet. Edging and tape-on Trim are available in short lengths... but restrictions apply. Call for details

Do you Guarantee Micro-Swirl Edging?
Yes, however because of variables such angle-of-attack, shield and rider height, helmet-to-shield distance, etc. we cannot recommend this product for all applications. Please refer to our Application Guide.

Can you make the edging clear?
No. Soft flexible clear materials are subject to cracking and discoloration from UV radiation. They also contain elastomers that migrate and damaging polycarbonate shields (the polycarb sheet manufactures do not recommend using clear suction cups on their products such as the ones supplied with radar detectors). The special elastomer used in Micro-Swirl edging is mostly used in the aerospace industry. It is chemically compatible with all shields, and is UV, oil and solvent resistant. It will not crack or become brittle even at 30 below zero... close to indestructible.

How do I attach Micro-Swirl edging?
Micro-Swirl Edging slips on and grips the windshields' outer edge. This gripping action allows it to hold on even around complex corners. Micro-Swirl Trim has the same primary generator but is held on by a peel-n-stick tape backing. The trim can be attached to a curved surface but must be laid down in a straight line (cannot go around corners)

Where do I place Micro-Swirl Edging?
Micro-Swirl Edging is used on most fairings and shields. This edging is not generally used with Trim on the same shield however many shields will use edging and have a Winglets or Wing-Tips attached at the same time. Micro-Swirl Trim is used mostly on our Winglets. It is also used on a few windshields that have beaded edges or over a ¼" thickness.
