YES thats right , i got my bike 6 monthsago and it's rusting away , all because of the cheap a*s crap spokes they put on a$26 k bike [sm=badidea.gif]

Can someone go around to Mr Davidon's house and and give him a backhander for meand tell him to wakeup to himself .


Thanks

If your bike was brand new I'd have those wheelsreplaced under warrenty as its clearly not fair wear and tear!

I understand the warranty on "cosmetic" stuff such as chrome, spokes, etc. is limited to 90 days but that wouldn't keep me from trying to get it warrantied. I have experienced rust on the spokes on my FLST while spending the winter in FL. I've kept it relatively under control by using #0000 steel wool, Mothers all wheel cleaner and periodic application of a good chrome poslish.

Ironically I had less problem on the rear wheel as somehow the brake dust seemed to protect the spokes from rusting as much (go figure).

Evidently the only bullitt proof fix is to have the spokes replaced with stainless ones but that creates other issues when putting two stainless parts together. Good luck.

Wow you guys get it bad in the U.S. - here in the UK we get two years warrenty as standard on all parts and labour whether it's cosmetic or not. Obviously stuff like tyres, bulbs, pads and clutch plates etc are not covered unless, of course its notfair wear and tear.

Definitely&nbsp\\; go to your dealer and have them replaced under warranty. You do have to watch what wheel cleaners you use as some are very acidic. Your older 2003 and prior wheels I believe had cadium spokes which turned a nice flat grey when you applied wheel cleaner. If the dealer won't warranty them get some wide shoe laces and soak them in a reputable wheel polish like Mother's. Wrap once around the spoke and pull it back and forth. A time consuming pain in the a$$ but it will remove the rust.&nbsp\\; Good Luck!
