What are the best measures to counter the deleterious effects on a motorcycle- in my case a 2016 Africa twin? Cleaning the bike more regularly, especially the underside seems logical, for instance. Any you- beaut sprays or oils etc that would be of use? I will be in places like Alaska and other cold places on a RTW trip in a year.

hi Smoky. Check out the frame mounting brackets for your radiators!
Like you, my 2017 AT has never been outside of Oz and there is significant corrosion there.
And, also like you, I am hoping to get me and the bike out of Fortress Australia as soon as the borders come down.
Might see you along the way.
FYI, the gravel roads in Alaska are treated with a salt additive (not just during winter) to improve their longevity.
Needless to say, this plays absolute havoc with ferrous steel.
Out of interest, which Maitland are you, NSW or SA?
