I'm glad you're asking this question. I also have swing arm scratches, put there by my rear spool lift. Of course, my scratches are just above the spools.

Got them too. But not really worried about it. They happened when I first got it on the small pit bull spools and rear stand. But used a marker on the slides of the rear lift to make sure I have the adjustments right. No more scratches added now..

What would you call the color? I think it looks darker than my 2012, doesn't it?
If its the same as 2012, there is a touch up paint for ford trucks that is very close.
I took my granddaughter to help. She and I both agreed Ford "ND FM 360" color, "Dark Shadow Gray ... We both thought this was as close as we were going to find.

I'd didn't realize some were gray. My swing arm is black. Much easier. Having a non black swing arm and getting scratches does add some complication for sure.

From what I could find, they had the body paint, but not frame paint.
My 2012 is more of a gray than black.

He man! This might be off topic, but how is that supersprox working out for you? Did you go up/down teeth or is that OEM size?
I love it. Now I just look for 7th gear.
I went to 16/39 and I cruise on the freeway at 70mph at about 4500 rpm's. 1st gear now winds up to about 70mph before I shift on WOT. It even makes the bike very manageable in the twisties too. I mostly stay in 2nd gear with enough torque to move me around only going down to 1st in the tightest of switchbacks.
From what I hear, Supersprox can also make the rear sprocket in blue. I didn't know that when I ordered it. When I replace that and the chain, I'll request it.
I thought it would help with mileage too but the results are the same as when the bike was new.....about 40mpg. Maybe if I didn't keep trying to get it up to 70 in first gear, I might see some improvement.
