So I low sided on the way to the dealer( battery keeps dying while its parked) yesterday going slowly ride by my house wheel spun in the first turn I took. Must have been some mud on my rear from my yard. I'm fine just annoyed. The mirror and pod are reasonable but I can't afford 200 for a stator cover so I might just paint it for now. Ant suggestions on a color match? |

Engine paint is Fusion Bronze IIRC. Get a little bottle thru your dealer, it matches well. DAMHIK The pod's plastic will clean up with 3M wet-dry and LOTS of water. Start with 320 or 400, work up to 2000 then shift to 4-0 steel wool, then polish. Glad you're OK. Zack |

If that engine touchup paint is anything like the Blue frame paint it won't match it at all, lol. |

Leave it on and mask around it with tape and newspaper. Minor PITA compared to gaskets and fluids... |
