I don't see a way to save it besides adding PPF over it.

I've done a little, but I am no position to offer any solid advice.
Pretty sure there was a really good thread recently on VFRW regarding somebody who cleared their whole bike with the original paint job and decals. Think it was a 5th Gen. It came out pretty damn nice from the photos. Can't remember if theirs was peeling though.
I can't log into VFRW at work to poke around and try and find it.

I would guess you would have to peel off what you can and then use a fine sandpaper to sand anywhere you want the clear to adhere as to create a mechanical bond. You will also have to feather out the edges of peeled off clear to original paint. From there clean, clean, clean before you clear over.
Talk to you local automotive paint supplier.
