Can't see where linin' chaps does any good, as lower parts I'd wanna protect aren't covered anyway.
Is it best to use name-brand foil or will generic do?
Have seen several padded envelopes with foil inside and out, like bubble wrap. Do the extra air chambers help? Should I fill them with oil (if so, syn or dyno) and I'm not familiar with Mercury's Retrograde model. Two-door or four? Domestic or import? What weight oil?
I hope the Mother Ship gets here before the black helicopters land.

    Foot protection does not need to be as heavy because the ground doesn't
    reflect all of it...yet.
    Although, when riding the Virago one might line their ! chaps, helps
    deflect radar-ladar-lazer too.
