Hi,
I just put a deposit down on a red 2006 Raptor 650. I can't wait to ride it but before I take delivery, is there anything I can do to it before I start riding to help maintain its finish through road chippings and horrible english weather?
I don't have a car so I ride all through the year, and I'm worried about the paint getting damaged by salt and grit.
Also, are there any essential mods you guys would reccomend?
Cheers.

re advice
buy some acf 50 from m&p or mps etc.this stuff is ace at protecting ally,paintwork etc and also neutralizes road salt,it is also a brilliant back to black for plastics and stuff.i use it all the time as my 01 v-raps finish is rubbish.hangers engine casings,fork legs and chrome all need constant attention and acf 50 will protect just about anything including electrics,its also a good penatrating spray.also try to keep it dry-see ya
