Two years ago I purchased a 2009 Night Rod Special. After 6 months of owning the bike the powder coating on the lower triple tree started to bubble and flack off. I took it to HD and was told that it was my fault for living by the ocean. Now two years later and many more problems later I am now having the same problem on the lower forks and on the neck of my frame. HD has fixed the lower triple tree as of a week ago but still doesn't want to complet the job.
I have been to 4 different professional powder coaters in my area and all say that this bubbling and flacking is due to bad prep work before the powder coating was done. It could also be due to HD now alowing the the coating to dry and cure properly.
I am looking for advise on this issues as I go head to head with HD. Is there any one out there with experience or possible having the same problems as I am?
Please get back to me. I am new to this site.
