Possible quality control issues

[Lord Popgun]

Last week I removed my front gaurd after what I'd found under the rear, chrome plating on top is good and deep, underneath its a different story. Where the gaurd bracket is, its very brassy colour and very dull finish. I can remember my mate had a new 450 black bomber in the sixties, first thing he did was remove both fenders andpainted them underneath to seal them. I think the quality on todays cb seems exactly the same.

I noticed this when I took it off to install the Fenda Extenda. Not very well chromed on the bottom.
