Guys, I noticed that my inner fairing (the part I see while riding) seems to be fading a bit. Its flat black, so its not a big deal, but is there something I can apply toit orat least darken it up, and make it somewhat even??

 

You can paint it or buy a painted one, that's going to beone of my winter projetcs.

Maybe some of the Bumper Blackstuff that's made for bumpers.

 

If you are going to paint it (highly recommended), don't put anything on it for now. Some of that goop may cause problems for paint.

 

Griot's vinyl dressing, just wipe it on, will look like new again.

 

Pig Spit...

 

Friend of mine parks his bike outside -day and night- and he always orders a painted inner fairing to avoid fading.

 

PIG SPIT OR SNOT is what i use.

 

I have the same problem, I just consider it to be a sign of the bike is for riding, not for show, its kind of like old leathers compared to new, the sign the rider/bike have been there and done that. As for painting the inner fairing, it looks good, if you go that way I'm sure you will not regret it. I thought about doing that, then re-considered it when I thought about how many gallons of gas I could buy with the money.

 

That is one of my winter projects as well. The painted inner fairing looks so much nicer. Wish HD would have them come that way from the factory.

 

based on the recommendation of a friend of mine, I tried some Turtle wax F21 protectant on my roadglide inner fairing. so far it seems to be holding up OK after a few washings now. sorta like armorall but apparently more permanent and it dries... not sure yet of long term durability. I figure it may be a 3-4 times a year thing for me with this stuff.
