I worked on the sratch on the air box with some 1000 grit sandpaper and it came right out! I will post a new pic of it as soon as i can. I havent taken the chinfairing off to work on it yet, but i expect the same results.
as for the rust... not quite sure, it started when i got here to Italy... and i was in San Diego before that..... i am going to take it off and repaint it...
