i have a 06 speedmaster and it looks like the lacquer on the rear wheel is corroding and looks like cobwebs around the rim, has anyone else had this problem or could any one help me rectify this as it looks unsightly, many thanks

My 04 rear is the same.
When I do a tire change I am going to have a wheel shop polish off the rest of the clearcoat and either re do the clear or maybe leave it raw.I live in Vegas so not much of a corosion issue out here.

They sell a kit to strip aluminum wheels and re coat them. It includes everything you need to redo them. Used to get them at auto parts stores.

Triumph warranted mine - but the bike only had a few miles on it and I had washed it a lot.

No more HONDA BRITE (spray on/rinse off)!
