has anyone else seen a white crackle effect start appearing on their fork lowers? This seems to be like tiny cracks in/under the lacquer. When i touch it it is raised and ****** annoying.
Is this common? I am not too worried as I have the warranty, but was wondering if this will just happen again.

There's a thread about the lacquer worming problem on that other forum. triumph rat
Some seem to think its caused by using too strong a detergent.

There are threads on here about the upper tree worming. Mine is fine after all kinds of weather and it's an 04.
