CHROME Peeling on Forks

[ROCKETDOG]

Have an '06 Chopper (warranty thru April '09) - the front fork chrome is starting to peel. Already had the fork brace replaced for this. Bike chrome, paint, etc. has been highly maintained! Am I out of luck with respect to warranty? Are you tellin me I gotta pay for new legs on this thing!!!!

assuming you still have a warranty you would hope that would be covered

paint and chrome= 6months (unless maybe you talk to them really sweet)

Good luck on your warranty. I would powder coat them suckers.

Never hurts to call and ask....just be polite

Welcome to the club. My black 05 did the same thing right after the warranty expired.

Good luck, six months on chrome.

I bought some 2004 Ridgeback lowers and swapped mine out. In 2004 they were polished and not plated. As they get blasted, just take some polish to them and they look like new.

Or like they said, powder coat them.


After the swap, pictured with the polished ones installed:
