My 2010 had the paint leap off the swing arm en masse, presumably taking inspiration from the engine cases. DUK weren’t interested, and getting it refinished to the same textured finish was going to be a pain. So sourced a pristine swing arm fro ebay Italy for £85 and will swap it over.
I had the same issue on my 2010. It had started under the hugger in front of the tyre where it gets blasted by shit thrown off the tyre. It then crept under the paint and showed as blisters in the area above the hugger. My solution was to scrape off all the loose paint and wire brush it back to bare metal. I then sprayed it with an etching primer then a couple of coats of satin black. For the area under the hugger ahead of the wheel I used black stone guard paint, the sort of stuff you paint on car sills. I had no more problem after that.
I used to courier the films from his office/home near leatherhead upto the editing place he used in E14. The joys of being a motorcycle courier. Another customer offered other couriers £500 to be in a film. No one ever did say if they took up the offers!
