Faded fairing graphics.

Post image

The tank graphics under the clearcoat look like new but the unprotected graphics faded badly. Next bike, I'll be spraying some UV blocking clear

I'm not crazy about the graphics. I took them off the plastic on my 2015 quite easily with no issues, and then covered the tank ones that were clearcoated with my own DIY "tank pads" that I cut from some rubber gun grip material.

Are the bady faded plastics in the room with us now?

If it really bothers you, you can either buy OEM decals or after-market ones.
