Damn...out of stock. I'm on the wait list.

A note for you (and everyone with anodized parts): The Satoracing website makes a nice note to all consumers that anodized parts fade over time based on UV exposure. True story! I HIGHLY recommend having a detailer coat all your anodized parts with a long lasting (5+ years minimum) ceramic coating prior to installing. I say prior because there's a likelihood of missing a small area after install depending on the part that will show fade. Not only will your color stay looking sharp but you add ease of cleaning as well.

I'm a professional detailer. My 959 is ceramic coated everywhere. Each and every aftermarket part gets a test fit, ceramic coat and final fit to ensure full coverage. (In the case of gloss carbon fiber, I polish first to ensure the best possible gloss with zero incidental scratches from manufacturer.)

My new V4S is getting the first detail after I get it back from the shop. Akra GP exhaust is being installed currently. (Yup...the exhaust is 100% coated already.)
 
I polished my bike for a while but after a few crashes, bugs, endless brakes dust and grime I've come to prefer the patina of use.
My buddy calls my 1098SF the rat bike because I only clean it in the winter when it's being serviced. Typically gets ridden 12-15K miles a year. Gets pretty nasty. Rain will deal with some of the bugs and crude. That being said the ceramic stuff is the solution. I did my V4, worth the effort.
