Not exactly an answer to your question, but if you ever do a complete bike tear-down / build-up then I would powder coat the frame and all the essential hardware. That’s what I did with my 55W. Looks great, handles abuse much better and last longer than traditional paints. I had my Jeeps front bumper, winch mounts and winch powder coated for a while now and it stood the test of time after many miles in the Sahara, and it still looks great. Can’t say the same for the Jeep’s body paint though …..
Downsides? Color selection isn’t as extensive as regular paints and harder to touch up.
