Fading tail light lens?
Air-Cooled:
I've never seen one other than mine, that has clear/pink top. I'm not convinced that they were made this way, but I could be wrong. This one on eBay is claimed to be OEM.
Gliderjohn:
I recently replaced the lens on my T-3 with one from MG. Also upgraded to LED, big difference for the better. The first photo is with the standard bulb with new lens which was a significant improvement over the light from the old lens. The second is with the LED bulb. Not sure why the picture show orange as it is red in reality

Years ago there was a particular Lexus model with brake/taillights on the trunk lid beside the license plate that were notorious for fading to pink. I don't remember the model.
Some examples of that car had one red lens and one pink lens. Some were almost clear.
Is the Guzzi lens made by CEV or aftermarket?
SIR REAL ED:
If the lack of redness is a concern, I would try "coloring" the outside of the tail light with a red magic marker.
Or just replace your tail light bulb with a red LED bulb.

Is this tailight upside down? The white section should be pointing down as that is what illuminates the license plate.
