And another vote for ACF-50
You really need it on from new. I got my Moto Guzzi on Friday and the first thing I did was wash it, then take it in the garage and use a compressor and spray gun to liberally coat it. It won't be washed with soap now until April and then will have it applied again.
I also fitted an extension to the front mudguard because every manufacturer found race fashion used less metal in 1981 and has fitted useless ones since.
All electrical connectors are sprayed with silicon. Replace any bolt you dare (so not the ones on the discs or engine mounts) with stainless. I bin ****y Chinese bolts that come with screens and luggage racks, European black oxidised goes where you won't risk stainless.
If you are doing the Alpine/Scandinavian rallies in winter you need to go a step further and apply liberal quantities of grease, either vaseline or ACF-50 to any metal to metal joints such as wheel spokes or crimped bodywork. "Chrome" silencers you just have to view as sacrificial . Bolt heads on bash plates will rust through in the time it takes to ride to Passau and back from Leeds, ask how I know
