Hey all wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I am seeing some chrome chipping on the front inverted forks down where the legs go into the bottom retainers. It is very minor now but could get worse. I am planning on turing the issue into the dealer and see what harley says.

Thanks
Phil

This should be a warranty item. Good luck on the replacement and let us know how it works out.

Phil,

I have this problem right now as well on the right side. It goes to the dealer here shortly for this and the other recalls.

Regards,
Shawn

I had the same problem. The Dealer replaced both fork assembly's (warranty) Even though the right side was the only one that was pitting.

Me too, took the bike to the dealer where they photographed the bad chrome. Should hear this week if the moco will allow the claim. I took a photo of it also, see below.

That looked exactly as mine did

Took longer to get the fork assembly than it did for Mo-Co to OK the warranty work they approved the the work the same day

I had chipping on both forks, both trees, and a few other pieces. All the pieces seem to be the chromed alum. The dealer replaced everthing with no hassles.

That looks bad and I am glad the dealers are taking care of it for you.
