My 1300 is 2004 vintage, low miles, and with the plastic off for coolant change etc seems in good nic for its age. However the radiator sides black paint is long gone. I am tempted to leave it as it is, white powdery covering included, rather than clean, rub down and paint , as I have always understood that aluminium cools best without being polished or painted, and if cleaned up will simply corrode again in time.
I do not intend to ride on salt covered roads, so does the team think that leave well alone is reasonable?
Many thanks in advance for your thoughts.
