Can I just say this - most of the bikes above looks perfect - not a mark on them. I have to hand it to you guys for keeping them so clean.
Mine is a daily commuter and the muck behind the engine, swing arm etc is so bad I am terrified to even look there. I have no idea how you guys keep these bikes so spotless. Hats off!!
i know if mine was a commuter, then i would probably clean it once a month. i use mine strictly for pleasure and seldom in the rain so it gets washed after most rides.

positron, youre not alone! i bought mine a few months ago and it was spotless. never ridden in the rain much. now its filthy after some wet weather runs.

My silver 03 also has an MRA screen with adjustable lip - although I broke it Wednesday morning by running into the back of a BMW (bike, not car, phew!).
I am 5' 11", and with the lip fully collapsed / folded away, the airflow is on to my upper chest, about 3-4 inches below my chin. With the lip fully extended airflow is a bit turbulent but totally misses the shoulder and neck and lands somewhere on the helmet. I prefer to keep it folded down in summer, but in winter I tend to keep it fully extended to protect my neck.

mine came with the bike when i bought it.
Makes a HUGE difference to me. I had a double bubble on the previous Fazer and felt the wind battering at my helmet constantly.
With the MRA screen - i hardly feel anything.
Worth every penny i didnt actually pay for it

caretaker, I truly haven't decided yet as I haven't had a chance to assess the real damage. I will keep you in mind if I decide to get new fairing and/or screen.
