Actually peeling chrome is not covered under the wheel/tire ESP. It is considered cosmetic...which is not covered. Otherwise every person with peeling chrome would get new wheels. You think HD will allow themselves to lose money like that...LOL
The wheel coverage is if you bend the rim via pothole or such.

Just a thought, if you have the tire & wheel coverage. Let some air out of the tire and slowly run into a curb.

Not trying to be a smart azz. But they will cover it then, but DONT drop the bike and cause more damage.

Are retired now or just some R&R?

Correct Matt. Damage is covered, appearance is not. Peeling/bubbling chrome isn't damage.
