During my initial FX test drive at the dealer back in 2016, I noticed strange marks on the front fender. My new bike did not have those. I took the bike in for the 600 mile service. It came back from the dealer with the same marks!
At first I wondered what the hell they were doing -- did they swap in a bad fender? Do they have a practice of strapping down the bike improperly?
But after thinking about it for a while, I realized all they did was leave it outside in the sun. The headlight lenses focus the light onto the fender, and as the sun moves overhead a melt streak is formed. Over time, the fender accumulates a whole set of streaks.
Just thought it was amusing. I'm certainly not worried enough to care where/how I park!

Good job noticing that, thanks. I'll try to note it in the unofficial manual in case it is a problem for someone some day.
