Default Chrome tip already peeling?

Put new tips on my SE's 7 months ago and their already peeling. Is this normal?

That is how the blacked out bike trend started.

Don't know if "cheap" is the word, they were bought from Harley $60.00?

I would take them back to the HD dealer. They shouldn't be peeling.

Are they aluminum? If so, the HD tips have been peeling for years. I don't know why they are still making them with all the returns they get.

Question

I'm confused, What kind of tips are you referring to?
