The close up views definately depict the caliber of his covers. Add to that the care and time that goes into the hand fabrication including double sticking all of the seams. I’ve sewn on industrial machines and this cover is by no means a simple project. Plus it is aesthetically pleasing and does not take away from the lines and contours of the Kingsong. Aww... Thanks @Rehab1. Though I would like to point out that the seams are actually triple stitched - once to join the neoprene pieces and then twice more (once down each side of the binding). We even tried gluing them too, but testing showed no additional benefit and the fumes made focussing too hard. 12 hours ago, MacPara said: Given the price tag of a 18xl (I am still trying to swallow that one), I felt the $130ish for a nice looking neoprene cover to keep it protected was a no-brainer to me. Knowing this is a handmade item makes it even more so. Can't wait to get it. Hopefully, before I drop the wheel Ahh... Tucson, AZ... It is actually quite amusing to be getting orders from around the world, but with no idea who they are from.. Perhaps we should add a "forum username" to the shopping cart so I know who you all are! And I'm glad that you "get it". When you are spending as much on an EUC as a small car but can't get insurance, then this is the next best thing (at least I think it is). BTW - great choice of colour... It really does look fantastic! I wanted to keep it and have the Hobbits make another one, but they gave me a good beat-down and I had to let them send it (I hope all of the blood washes out of it). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your second post (which I am hoping should show your new EUC Bodyguard) doesn't show anything... Just blank boxes with nothing in them. We are so keen to see how it looks framed up against a San Diego waterfront! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe @Rehab1can give a tutorial on how to post pictures... I will definitely post a picture in front of a San Diego waterfront. The blue will look great with the blue ocean and sky. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to use a photo sharing/hosting site like Flickr that will allow you copy and paste the photo’s designated url to the forum’s topic or thread of your choice. Unfortunately flickr is now charging a fee for their service but I use them because the service is excellent. Here are some other image hosting sites that can help you upload and share photos: Google Photos. Google Photos is one of the best image-hosting resources for uploading high-quality photos in large quantities. ... Imgur. ... Dropbox. ... TinyPic. ... Use. ... Flickr. ... 500px. ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KS18L - Black Black it you want to know which ones to make first! Hi @smarty… They are back in stock now! As they are made to order, we set the "stock" levels on the website quite low so that our Hobbit Sweatshop™ doesn't get overloaded. Having said that, we are getting a lot more interest than we expected and are starting to run low on materials (so we may actually be out of stock in a week or two).

Congratulations 🎉 Had I not wrecked on mine and scratched it all up, I'd have ordered by now too! Maybe I'll order a new shell at some point, and then, I can feel good about puttin' slop on the worker elves' (Hobbits) table...😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have just spent a boat-load of cash on a new 18XL (or similar) the EUC Bodyguard will keep it pristine - and thanks for testing that @Flyboy10 (and everyone else)! But if you have already scratched up your ride (eg. @travsformation) then an EUC Bodyguard can also cover / hide that damage... Something to think about?
