I have read that the lower case halves are indeed painted, but that on the "silver" CBX motors, the cylinder cases / heads are actually bare aluminum.
Here is my question:
1). Is this true? Were the OE cylinder cases bare aluminum on the "Z" motors? ........is this a special alloy that allows them to remain fairly bright and uncorroded?
2). If so, are the later Pro-link cylinders cases / heads made similarly? In other words, can I run them "bare" also?
Thanks
