Default Chrome problems on 2012 Fatboy
I just noticed the chrome delaminating on my rear wheel near one of the cast holes. It is about the size of a dime for now

I also have developed a bubble (more chrome delamination) on the ignition switch where the dust cover makes contact when it is opened.

Anyone else having these issues?

Glade it is still under factory warrenty.

Take it back to the dealer, they should fix it for you

Make sure they don't fix it but replace it!
