OK, so I rode a couple hundred miles in the rain, water dripped out of my swingarm for a week, now my belt guard is covered in rust, couple weeks later...rode in the rain...same thing, my brothers 09 also does the same thing, we are getting the moco involved in this one, could be dangerous down the road, after they rust from the inside out.

 

I'll bet theres a "weep" hole that's plugged with paint or weld?
Can't believe the MOCO wouldn't anticipate that. Basic stuff.
The dealer will be instructed to drill a bigger hole - simple fix.

 

haven't noticed this on mine... and it rains here a lot in oregon
haven't noticed it when washing it either...

 

Rode in the rain here all winter (fricken weathermen!). I haven't noticed this on mine. Do you have any pics? I would like to take a look in case I missed something.

 

same here....was wondering WTF was that....

 

just rode 4 days in rain did not see it after i park it

 

This is where the radiator for the new H20 Glide is going, you're road testing it's capabilities .

 

Yes, it holds water and then leaks rusty water down the side of the bike, rim, and stuff.

We haven't experienced that with Terrie's Street Glide and I'm damn glad! I just laid new carpet in there a couple of months ago.

 

New carpet?
Park the bike in the living room?
I like my bike but not that much...
