Recently bought a pre owned 2010 R1200RT from a dealer.
The manufacturers warranty ran out at the end of June but I have a BMW pre owned bike warranty for a further 12 months.
I don't think this covers cosmetic stuff ie rust etc.
I noticed yesterday that the chrome headers are forming patches of rust,this wasn't there or at least wasn't noticeable when I bought it as they were so well polished I guess they must have got rid of it.
My question is.....bearing in mind it is out of warranty if I got them re-chromed over the winter period by someone is the finish likely to be more durable than the BMW chroming appears to have been.
i have no experience of the process etc so no idea.
Thanks.
