Default Fork slider pitting
Has anyone seen pitting on the fork slider dust covers? Mine is 6 months old and the black paint looks like it is "alligatoring". I am going for my 5000 mile service tomorrow, but I hope the dealer doesn't jerk me around cause I'm in Florida.
(Sorry, no pics~@ work)

it is not pitting if it is your black sliders it is the powder coat... durring the process there is an out-gas that is released... means the surface was not propperly degreased... the pours in the metal need to be prepped propperly or else this is created...

sounds like a warranty issue to me... hope your dealer straightens it out!
