I don't really understand what's going on with the chrome on a quality high cost product.
I've been noticing that the chrome is starting to flake in different spots like foot brake lever arm, bottom of one lower fork, gear shifting arm, and what really got me today,..I saw rust starting around the mounting screw and chrome plate light cover. I removed the screw and the cover is PLASTIC the rust was from the screw, they couldn't even put a stainless one in.
My bike is 10 year's old this May and I got it in 2011 with 6k on it and I've put another 10k on since I retired a total of 16k to date. It's been cleaned on a regular basis and 95% of good weather riding. Why is the chrome starting to flake? I dread what it will look like in two years time.
Are there chrome issues with HD products.
