Default 2010 Wide Glide rust spots on exhuast

Hello to all. I bought my 2010 Wide Glide in April and while I was washing it this weekend I noticed a couple of rust spots on the exhaust and also what looks like a bubble in the Paint on the rear shock support. I'm just wondering if anyone else has this problem Thank You

Not on mine, but I'd take it back to the dealer and make them document it and try to get them to replace the rusted parts.

Lots of this kinda thing popping up on the bikes from the last 2 years.

I have seen 6 month exhausts covered in rust, 12 month rear fenders rotted through, every painted bit of metal with a bend in it rusted, out of the way frame parts covered in rust...

HD are in one their 'don't give a **** about the quality' phases at the moment.

None here but I don't have the stock exhaust. No other rust on the bike as of yet. I do live in a relatively dry environment...I would give the dealer a visit!! Good luck.

Greetings,

If your bike sits out or if you garage is humid, that could be the cause of it. Otherwise, a trip to the dealer might be worthwhile for you.

FYI: The paint/powdercoating on my rear shock support/fender strut is bubbling/peeling. I got my bike in late May...

I'm probably going to strip them down and repaint them myself (If you want anything done right gotta do it yourself) rather than even try to go through the hassle of seeing if they are under warranty.

A couple of spoke nipples are also rusting already too.
