Sounds very painful......😧

Only the bead blasting to remove all the c**p!  :shocked:
Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

i actually had the ABS ring sand blasted then painted gloss black by a friend who has his own paint shop, I had my wheels and stand powder coated black.

Looks and works fine.
Ducati owner now but I used to have a Black one, the fastest version.

I agree. He needs to quit riding in bad weather.

The sensor uses Hall Effect to detect the notches in the reluctor ring so take it off, remove rust with wire brush, paint with Rust Remedy, and the top coat with rattle can paint in the colour of your choice. Anyone for a lime green ring?  :mfr_lol:

Not a bad choice, actually.   Never thought about painting the ABS wheel..   I'm going to think about that now after a Scotch or two or three.

They don't carry it in Virginia.  I'll check Maryland.

Update:  Looks like they carry it in MD.  Which variant do you recommend?
