Default What would you do?
I've got a 16 CVO RG. Less than 3k on the clock. I noticed my right heat deflector" for the engine heat" is discolored now. They come black. I'm sure its from the heat coming off the motor. Would you want it replaced? It's become kind of smoky now or real faded. At first I thought it was dust but it's not.

Are you talking about the plastic shield that bolts to the frame just inside your thighs? If so, mine have 53,000 miles on 'em and they're still black.

+1 on what Deckman said!

Ride that RG right through the front door of the store to get their attention. Try not to smirk so they will think you're serious.
