I'll probably end up repainting mine this winter, but I am disappointed that my 2015 Motorcycle is faded so much in so little time...I mean it's still 2015 !

Yes, I know Reds and Orange are some of the worst colors to fade, but nothing should fade that fast.

I'm interested in Spuds bike, I'd like to see a picture of the tank if he takes the seat off, to see the amount of fade where the seat covers the tank.

Anyway, once I repaint mine (with quality paint) I'll probably do a custom color so it'll stand out a little.
Huck, did you smear some wax on the paint as the owners manual recommends? Which reminds me to pick up some new wax smearers this weekend.
