Does anyone know if I have a chance of getting this warrantied:

There as been a discolored section, about 3/4 in by 3 in for as long as I can remember. Now it finally started chipping down to bare metal. Its clearly not from rocks, tire changes, etc.

The only possible thing that could have caused this (other than a application defect) would be if some really harsh chemical pooled up on the wheel while it was sitting parked. However, its on the left side, so I don't even think this could possible have happened.

I'm pretty anal about things like that, so I don't imagine I could have done such a thing, but if it were possible to destroy powdercoat in such a manner, then a claim adjuster could easily veto this. . . if it even potentially qualified for a claim.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, dealership told me that extended service plan wouldn't cover such a thing. I should have pointed out the bubbling while I was still on my two warranty, I thought it was just residue.

I'm going to call hd/buell customer service tomorrow, but I'm not real optimistic.

Has anyone else had this problem.
