1. Dings happen.. to my knowledge of owning a few bikes over the years there is no way to keep those occasional dings and scratches from happening. Your gonna get one or two from either flying rocks or debris while on the highway or from some other place.. it happens. I was told by a seasoned rider that these are "Beauty Marks" that All bikes suffer.. so don't get too bent out of shape when you find one. |
I've got a minor scratch on my front fender and some scratches on my neck cover from when the time I tried to put on some vinyl CF decals and some scuffs on my fender from a throw over bag.
What I did do was paint the fender bolt black with touch up paint when I removed the passenger seat. After I thought, what the heck so I painted the rest of the grey bolts on the front fender and on the sides of the bike. It blacks out the bike more IMHO.
