Hi all,

Too much winter, so I stripped the M2 down. I've seen a few naked Cyclones here and they often leave the Screaming Eagle ignition on the rail. Is it cool to leave it exposed like this?

I also noticed that my frame is scuffed up pretty badly in spots. What do you folks use for touch-up paint?

Thanks!

Randy

I don't see why leaving it "exposed" would be a problem. If you have ever ridden through a day of rain you know that the things under there are exposed anyway, as everything is soaked. Mine has been exposed for a year now and I have had no issues.

Cool! Thanks Kilroy. Say, what did you do with your fuse box? I ended up sealing mine in an enclosure... Not the cleanest look, but I couldn't figure out any other place for it without cutting tons of wires.
