    Ive been poking around the bike today, and have taken a lot of the plastics off, tracing the wiring etc. I cannot believe the ammount of rust I am seeing ... on joints and poor welds.
    My Bike is 13 months old (7,000 miles) ... and, Ive done most of the mileage so far. The bike has got wet, but its not seen that much salt... it is always washed and dried and oiled.

    Think a dog raised its leg on mine once thats the closest its ever come to being washed
    Bought myself some stainless allen bolts to replace the cheese thats left on the bike thats if they dont melt when I try and get em off

    Anyone know if they do a probolt kit for the AT?
