I have decided my attitude on this and I'm not going to worry about it. I never thought of the cb as only being a show bike and I wont live long enough for it to become a museum relic, held in pristine condition for years with 600 miles on it for the last 35 years for the sake of cosmetics..
I'm going to just ride it whenever and wherever I feel like it and I might spray that ACF-50 all over the place just for the fun of it. But if the chrome all goes to rust and the aluminum gets all fuzzy that's fine with me. In fact that would make it look more vintage. The resale value of these is pathetic anyway and getting less all the time, so I might as well get my use out of it, come what may. Mechanically it will still be unharmed and will still be a great ride.
