A friend has his TriGlide in my garage for a few weeks and I noticed his front forks are in terrible condition. He said he's noticed it before, so we took a closer look. I tried some cleaners to see if that would do anything to get the marks out, and it did nothing. It's not brake dust because the cloth didn't turn black when wiping and it's not scratches. These are the stock front forks and not chrome. I've never seen this before, so wondered if anyone else has seen it or dealt with the problem and if so, what did you do?? He's from Texas, so not sure if they have caustic bug guts down there or not! He's going to take it back to the dealership he bought it from and see if it could be covered under warranty.
Not sure why the photos are sideways, but you can still see the marks. Thanks!
