Maybe this stuff has been around forever, but I'd never noticed it. The GPz has spent a fair amount of sunbathing over the past 33 years. Most of the exposed black plastic was pretty gray.
I should have taken a before pic of the switch housings, they were a pretty light gray. Worse than the fender.
Maybe it won't last, but so far I'm impressed.
Rear fender before treatment:

There's mud on the rear tire... were you out testing the 1/4 mile time?
I've used Mother's products before but hadn't heard of Back to Black. Thanks for the tip.
I've put about 25 miles on it. No offroading, just a muddy driveway!

Andrea used to use that stuff one her jeep, I bad thing is that it collects dust like no other, gravel roads in the jeep would turn the shiny black to a brown in 2 miles.
Ah, that's good to know. Probably best keep it to the street bikes then!
