Well if you're going to replace it anyway why not have a bit of practice with some scotchbrite green abrasive pads.
When i got my 2010 the cap on the case cover was a bit corroded, not much but; i took the timing cover off with an allen key, scuffed the entire thing until it was all equal and clean, sprayed some acrylic lacquer spray can in some layers and put it back after it had dried, i could not tell the difference afterwards, of course if yours are painted it's a different story.
The exhaust could try wet and dry until the scratches are mostly gone and then polish with autosol to the desired finish.
Brake lever? RLETS TIME!
It really depends how handy you are, just a thought.
