Hey all, Just wanted to know, what is the best way to prevent the plastic on my KLR from fading? My A17 has black side panels and i could see them fading very quick. I tried some vinyl and plastic dash protector wipes, they worked great for the seat but they left streaks on the plastic that attracted dirt like a magnet. I KNOW it's a dirt bike and supposed to be dirty, just wanted to protect my investment from the sun... Thanks, Andrew, Lloydminster Canada A17C

Dude, your biggest investment is your own ass! Don't put slick shit on your seat, you'll fall through your ass and hang yourself! I know what you meen though, I am using black magic on mine as a protectant and it collects a lot of dust. I does stay on a long time and after a couple washings, it doesn't. Just get as much off as you can, at the time of application. Don't polish on the plastic if it's dusty though, it scratches very easily. I hope this stuff works because I've seen a ratty looking faded KLR at the pawn shop and they can't even get 1500 for it and it's an 01!

"Motorcraft" maybe? Nah..I dunno if I would want my ride to share the same name as poor quality automotive parts. Mark
