HD Chrome

Is it just me - or has the quality of the chrome on HD's gone down a notch?
My '08 Streetglides mufflers have numerous spots that have pits or discolorations (around the rear ends). The chrome on the front heat shield is also bubbling near the front exhaust port.
I'm looking for new mufflers - most likely SE but maybe the Rush - so I'm not that worried about the mufflers - but my bike is only 1 month old and onlyhas about 400 miles on it. I'm sure HD will warranty the stuff but I am surprised that I am seeing this. I just seem to remember my Evo Roadking having better chrome..
grumpy in the new year..

I think that the dust from the rear disc brake can be corrosive to the chrome on the mufflers. See if it's not worse on the right side. The bubbling chrome should be a warranty issue.

If you can't see it from say 5ft away, it isn't bad?
