The guy who was rebuilding the bike I now own did a very nice paint job and the paint looks near new on the side covers, tank and all the red bits.
Couple of weeks ago I was riding along and hit a marginal bump and the clatter was deafening as one of my side covers went skittering along the road at 50 miles an hour. What a bummer!!
I just put it under the bungy since I was on a busy road and when I got home I discovered that the rubber grommet that holds the side cover on just broke in half. I got some chips but only in the two upper corners so a little touch up paint should make it go away mostly but it still sucks.
So ... if you are doing a rebuild .. Those grommets are $2.40 each. Buy em
That rubber is old so even if it looks OK .. change them out.
