Haha....I was hoping you would try it first and report back with a verdict on the subject.
I haven't got anything to try it out on. I'm just considering a new bike.
But as I see it, if the metal is the same as in the earlier bikes, I myself, wouldn't be frightened to strip the paint off......er.... ....unless its a ceramic coating.
I'd have to do an experiment on the back of one of the heat shields......I would if I had one, for sure.
