Having seem a few YT "reviews" the one thing I have noticed is that it seems very low geared - around 6000 rpm @ 60mph. My Interceptor is running around 4000 at the same speed & that feels a bit busy to me. The 500 Classic calculates out (no tacho) at a round 3850 - usefully close to peak torque at 4000.
Lack of the ability to fit a centre stand is also ablack mark against it.
Will - I hadn't considered a ceramic coating for polished aluminium, having assumed these products were intended for painted surfaces. I will investigate that route further, thanks.
The particular Cerakote product I mentioned is only availabe as a one pack, air drying, compound - a "professional" would apply it just the same as I would at home. Other Cerakote products are two pack & require baking to cure - something best left to someone else IMO. I don't want to work with two pack compounds, as I lack the necessary safety kit & it is not worth the considerable investment in suitable equipment to stay alive for the limited amount of usage it would get.
I'll let you know how I get on.
Nigel B.
