I had to simply stop caring what the paint looked like on my Red '13. I'll wash the dirt off every now and then but I never look too closely. She's so much fun to ride it's hard to fault her for some scratches...
When that bagger shield get so scratched up that it looks like hell, I will order a new one. The only problem I have had so far with it is getting the rubber screw locks out of the bottom panel to invert the top piece. I have tried different lubricants but so far I have not found one that makes this task any easier. I am going to try graphite powder next and keep going until one works.
Always brings out the best bug info.

the only problem I see with it is I hate the smell of white vinegar, my wife uses it to clean the coffee maker and it stinks up the house. I suppose using it outside would be a different story.:icon_frown:
