The cast sections aren't the same as the stock frame; they have a duller appearance to them similar to the later RS frames. Not quite like magnesium, but not like the normal shiny anodised frames either.
I think the frame will actually come up really well with soapy water and a bit of treatment with ACF50. It's the swingarm that's niggling me as there is a small gouge on the brace where a silencer rubbed it once and a mark under the "gull" where a non-sleeved Goodridge line has rubbed against it... that'll teach me!!
