I had wear issues with graphics on tank shrouds and fenders by the heal guards, till i started using Factory effects medium grip clear vinyl. It's awesome, graphics will loose shine were ever it's applied but images still clearly legible. I put it on my black 450r after I used plastics renew on just the bare plastics keeps the stuff protected good. One word of warning, use the medium grip cause boots and riding gear will see more wear. I have also used it on frame rails.
