Like the look of the mid-body and swing arm chrome covers.Since they partially cover the painted frame, I was wondering if these hold moisture under them and cause rust? [:'(]Or am I better off splitting the difference and going with a full chrome swing arm instead? Thanks - Steve

Wife has the covers on her Deluxe. Looks great, and no problems with water or any other issues after a year of use.
