Django... look at the condition of the bolts holding the little front motor cover on in the two pics. The ones in the 6 months later pic look horrible compared to the same bolts in the top pic. Those are plated bolts are they not? Something was attacking your bike obviously. The bolts have nothing to do with paint.
I just went out and looked at mine and they still look like your top ones, just shy of 3 years old, ridden all year long thru brine and salt in winter, stored in unheated garage uncovered, gets washed spring and fall, 28,000 miles.
