Arrow Is triple tree clear coated?

Polished my SB last night and found little corrosion on the triple tree, might give it a good clean and polish. My question is, is it clear coated from factory? Thanks!

My 07 and my 08 were not. Cannot say about other years. I polished mine last year and it came out great. It is now part of my spring maintenance along with the legs.

Good to know! I have an 07 and I polished the legs last night, beautiful!
Yeah, if I don't clean it now, it will become crap very soon. I like the words "Spring maintenance" LOL

Thanks for the headsup Joe. Sounds right to me, it looks like a really thin coating on top, I wasn't sure what that is. I don't want to waste time polishing the clear lol.
