Wind, Warranty vs TuneECU, Cleaning Flat black paint

[Claviger]

Ok so 1 week on owning my rocket and I have a few things I would like to tweak.

1: Looking for the smallest screen available that will take the edge off wind in the face above 80mph. The summer screen is WAY to big for my taste. Suggestions? Thinking the MRA screen, opinions?

2: As for TuneECU, if I were to install a map and at some point in the future, the engine explodes like a nuclear bomb or some other such event happens and I put the tune back to stock tune. Will they honor the warranty? Can they see if it has been changed? Do we have a definitive answer for this yet? What about tuneboy instead?

3: How the F*ck do you keep flat black paint clean?! I cant seem to keep it from getting water spots/finger marks/bug smears etc. I can't be assed to be outside daily wiping it down, suggestions? Is there a flat compatible wax to protect the paint?

I use a silicone spray to keep my flat black looking great. Spray it on and lightly wipe it around with a micro fiber cloth. Takes 4-5 min to do the entire bike.

I put a fly screen on mine and it made a massive difference to wind pressure on my chest and head , seems wind is passing just above my helmet

The Triumph Flyscreen Wrecka?

Flat black looks fantastic, when it's pristine. And since keeping it pristine is impossible, flat black bikes always look unkempt... in my opinion.

Try getting an air dryer - an Air Force Blaster. That will allow you to wash the bike, rinse it and then blow the water off before it waterspots.

Air is good , i always blow most water off with my compressor

Awesome tips, will definitely use my compressor and try the tire polish after a good wash. It is nuts how much grime I have built up in 7 days

I picked up the smallest air blaster, the Sidekick, it's under $100. Still plenty powerful enough to blow water off the bike, and it's small and light and easy to get into the nooks and crannies. I have to wonder what the 8 horsepower (yes, really) monstrosity they have as their top of the line is like, has to move preposterous quantities of air since even this tiny one is so strong.
