Default XG750A Street Rod Forks

The anodized finish on my 2017 XG750A Street Rod fork legs is pretty lame. Has anybody else had this issue and did the dealer do anything under warranty? I have one month of warranty period left so I am curious..

It's a shame because the rest of the fit and finish is in like-new condition...

Nothing. I just bought this bike two weeks ago. All other parts of the bike are in like-new condition. It is in outstanding condition.

Also... This can only be seen in certain conditions such as this morning or under a LED light. In normal light this is almost imperceptible.

I agree something got on it. Could have happened on the line or perhaps during cleaning at some point in its life...
