Unbelievable Corrosion on a 1200 GSA

[Deadskin]

CWs have a new pannier frame on order for my GSA as it was delivered damaged!
I was also advised not to use Muc-Off or similar on the fork/wheel annodising as the quality is suspect, however, used 1150 GSAs in the showroom appeared to be in 'as-new' condition.
Maybe quality control is becoming an issue at BMW?

Pro Clean also does a rather spiffing job of stripping your annodised bits

Had a rust problem on my crash bars on my adventure and Bmw refused a warranty claim .

they are not stainless steel for some reason corrosion on the fork brace is covered but the bars are not .

Are you talking 1200 Adventure? As I am sure the bars are meant to be bead blasted stainless steel...

If you're talling about the 1200GSA, then mine have been changed under warranty with no problem.

Corrosion noticed on mine after 3 days don't really give a monkeys just now
will wait untill warranty is about up and if they don't change them powder coated in black might be cooler anyway
