Along with that comes pitted shocks rusty exhaust collars (but our rims should stay in decent shape) There is just to much to view not to see imperfections. The newer bikes today have rear mono shocks and are covered with painted plastic parts.
Look at the barn finds of the 70 and 80's, most have low miles but are rusted beyond repair. Whether you store it or ride her its going to age.
Just ride it and enjoy it.
Thats exactly the conclusion I've come to, I think they have made them the same as they did 35yrs ago.
Anyway, did the rear fender yesterday and its looking loads better today, took front fender off today, clean and treated with Acf50, 10 min job.
The CB is a beautiful bike and if it takes extra care to keep it looking good then thats fine with me,
