Clear Coat?

[STRaider]

Very nice, you did a great job.

Dang
A lot of work for just a clear coat...maybe I should just ride and not worry about it....then repaint it in a few years.

I'm pretty sure this will be my approach. It irritates me to no end that Honda did this, but I love the bike and hope to keep this on a very long time, so I am starting to accept I will just have to paint it at some point. I'm hoping at some point Honda will have to acknowledge the problem.
