NONE that I am aware of, however it will look tatty if you have a feul leak, just as any Carbie would.

OK let me make it a little easier for you. THAT is MY carbie (there's 2 of them from my Guzzi Cafe) and it;'s NOT painted, it;s Black Ceramic coated. Painting is pretty much a no no as it's not just fuel but also petrol FUMES that will screw up your paint job.

lowering the front end (ie pushing the forks up) will muck up the steering geometry, it's not a smart move for a wise man

Thanks Ian, that breach is on a Temp wire to a nearly dead battery that is hooked up purely to test the circuits. the dead battery allows you to check things are working but it does not allow enough current to fry thing if I screw it up. I learned this the hard way :-[ ::)
