Good to hear the warranty covers it which it should. Just sad to hear another problem with these ''special bikes''.

I just love this bike... the feel of the road, the sounds it makes, how frigging cool it looks!!...and it is BLUE!! ha! Even the black is blue :2vrolijk_29:!  :2vrolijk_21:

I hope issues like these are the exception and not the norm.

I'm with you and hoping not the norm. Still haven't looked at the wheels with it raining. Want to look at it in the sun. Two amps, faded speaker grills, warped front rotors and chrome peeling on muffler tips and gas cap trim ring.  :nixweiss:

I thought about it... but I love the contrast of the chrome and black... and since I can't afford new wheels, I will stick with these... hope that the reason for the delay is to improve the quality of the finish... hey! I can dream!

I'm with you, I love the chrome and black look, unfortunately the chrome adhesion is terrible and judging by your picture the surface prep looks terrible.  Obviously a supplier to HD central not having good quality control unless they make these in-house.  Either way this "should" not happen.

If I remember correctly the ESP doesn't cover this, better watch them. I had a front wheel that the chrome peeled on the inside of the wheel. I found out when my front tire went flat. They dismounted the front tire and pulled out a handful of chrome  :'(

Maybe upgrade to the "black-ice" versions.

Those are sweet  :2vrolijk_21:
