Default Paint Problems?

Washing the bike the other day and felt what I thought to be bug crap under the cloth. Upon closer inspection I found what looked like a rock chip!! Turns out the clear coat is peeling!!
Next day I stopped at the dealership(Rough Rider HD, Mandan). Service manager took a look, stepped onto his office, returned in about a minute. Said he had ordered a new outer shell for the fairing! Can't beat a deal like that!
Any body else have paint issues?

Nothing on mine I can find. I did see a RK at the dealership that had some pretty nasty orange peel. I felt bad for the owner of the sold sign.

Not seen any peeling yet, but will keep an eye out for it when wiping down after I ride.

I posted a thread about a month ago regarding fish eye in my tank.Went to the dealer and received a new tank. Wish I could find some peeling on my fairing as it has a nice chip in it already with only 5000mi,Bumming about that

Tonight I took a damp micro fiber towel and started gentle rubbing my hands all over her curves. Caressing every nook and cranny, insertion my fingers into forbidden areas. After 2 hours of massaging he body she is ready for a long ride.

Tomorrow I'm leading a 350 mile day trip covering 4 states.

So far my 14 limited has no clear coat peeling.

I had some issues with the clear coat but the dealer only wet sanded and buffed it out. Too bad it did almost nothing for the terrible orange peel in the paint.

My Amber Whiskey SG seems to chip very very easy. I made a thread about it not long ago.

My Amber Whiskey had a clear coat defect in the fairing, buffing it out didn't work so dealer ordered a new fairing under warranty.
