I would be concerned about dust/dirt getting under leather or vinyl spats and then having wind buffet and mechanical vibrations turn spat into sandpaper on finish. I've seen this on front bras and once you put them on you can never take them off because after awhile the finish gets sanded dull under the bra and you have unsightly gloss differential if the bra is taken off. Is this not something to be mindful of?
