A full belly pan helps paint survive better - so stone chips must be an issue. My solo has had a monza pan fitted from almost new & the paint's still very good. The trike's naked engine by comparison is a right mess - and it's done a lot less miles. Post 2001/2002 bikes seem to suffer from this problem a lot more.
