[QUOTE="Cyclepath, post: 1358272, member: 78971"] Hey FNG, in terms of your problem number 3, I would also suggest having a quick look at how firmly mounted your front fender is on the forks. On my Gen 1, not long after buying it (I became 3rd owner), I noticed a mechanical rattling whenever I went over bumps/came up into my driveway etc. Turned out that the plaster fender wasn't fastened tightly - for every fender bolt there is a small metal bushing each bolt passes through, and the plastic fender was actually slowly breaking away around each of those bushing holes. Ended up using some JB Weld (somewhat colour-matched to my old Cerulean Blue factory paint) and a set of tarp grommets to fabricate a set of new reinforcements on those plastic fender bushing holes. That was 4 years ago, and they are still holding nicely. Never did use any touch up paint - too small to really notice. [/QUOTE]
