I am anal about keeping my bike clean, and dry. I live in San Diego where I am fortunate enough to have only been sprinkled on twice during a ride during the past four years, my bike is garage stored, and I live far enough away from the coast so that the salt air is not a problem. But, I have experienced unusual rusting and chrome pitting on my 2014 dlx that none of the previous bikes I have owned have experienced. One of my fork tubes has very, very tiny pit marks on it, about the size of a pin-poke. These pit marks are into the area where the lower tube travels, not directly adjacent to the lower fork clamp on the triple clamp. Has anybody else discovered anything similar?
