Wow that is significant chipping! I only have 2k on the clock but I do not see any evidence of that kind of damage on mine.

Same here (Texas). I was thinking of trying one of the touring tires with harder compound in the middle, and probably would have if not for the dealer sale.

No. Mostly running 75MPH down the interstate. Maybe I should swing by the dealer this week after work and ask them about it.

I have the same pitting and mostly on the right side, mine not as severe @~4400 mi. I figure it’s because I spend most of the time bombing down the freeway in the LH lane.
ETA: I did purchase the vivid black touch up kit ($35) but not sure when I'll get the gumption to use it.

Yeah, the HD site has a couple, and I'm sure the aftermarket has more. More than a couple of inches and you'll want to look at cable length. The fat bars make the risers rarer though.
