I don' think I've ever looked at the bottom of a fender but then I'm a rider and not a polisher. The other day on another forum I read a guy complaining about how difficult it was to remove and clean the center stand on his bike. All I could think of was REALLY?
Oh gosh.
When I first looked under the CB1100 rear fender it was probably three years in of ownership. I said, " ... huh, rust already? This is like 2017, not 1975". Anyway, I moved on to whatever I was doing at the time.
RE center stand: Unless it is caked with mud, cow patties or road kill, it ought to be a bit greasy from the front sprocket. This is good, eh? Helps keep exposed metal from corroding. I had a few corroded center stands in the past and it was a minor nuisance to lube up. Hmm, come to think of it I think they were on all shaft final drive bikes.
