Try riding a bike on Guam and having it sit outside your flat for a year in Bahrain, then talk rust! You wash it a lot plus the humid climate and I'm guessing the rust is showing up in the rims "divits". Once it starts, it's there; I usu hit any with a brass wire brush then use chrome polish and it's hardly noticeable. Cut back on the washing so much!

is something i can use to slow it down short of soaking it in 10w30 ??? I put my new shorty stgrd's on last night thats when i found alot more spots, thought it was just the rims and the oxidation on the case. I am a little upset maybe ill bring it to another dealer see what they say cuz "its the nature of the beast" is not gonna cut it... at this point ill have to strip it and paint it in a years time....weak

Good luck. Get some protectact of some sort and apply it bi-monthly. I use MASS and Turtle.
