Rust 2007 1200C

[logo]

On the 93 dyna that I had for 11 years and the 2004 dyna that I have now both ridden all year round,I never had a spot of rust on the paintwork
or the chrome.
Was thinking about getting a new Harley but these postings are making me think again

It's not a fix for poor quality chrome, steel and paint.

My Bike is allways clean and is kept in a centraly heated garage and the paint still fell off the mudgards, i hope they prepared the Engine better before they built it,

Baza supplied me with email contacts for customer services at HD UK, about 2/3 days ago, guess what still no reply or even acknowledgement.

Why am I not suprised.....

Don't bother using HD Customer services - they'll do nothing except (eventually) refer you to the dealership who supplied your bike.
I picked this up with Marjorie Rae recently following my experiences and this appears to quite a normal thing for them to do as "the dealerships have the expertise, not HD Customer services".
Luckily my local dealership looked after my rust problem really well.

Well the bubbling on the front mud guard has gone further and its now flaking off! Dealer has ordered new front and rear guards - happy with that BUT are they going to change them again if it happens again once the warrentee runs out (should be two years from replacement surely!)

Someone told me today that he had heard the frame and cycle parts are now made in China. Any truth in this?
