Black RK here and mine is the same way.
Scratches, scratches, and more scratches.
Isneezed around my saddlebags yesterday and caused a scratch.
Heaven forbid I break-wind around them. I'd probably have to replace the lid altogether.

I don't have a single scratch on my 07 RG. However, I am always very careful when getting on or off. My previous bike had lots of little scratches on it and I have done my best to make sure that doesn't happen again.

Yeah, small scratches on the bags and the tank. Can't seem to prevent it.
