That funny little race track at the bottom of the
I have just bought a set of 03 motard rims to go on my 04 650 and the spokes appear to have surface rust. I thought the spokes were stainless untill whilst cleaning they appear to have light surface rust and thin plating near the nipples which indicates chrome or nickle plate?
Any input anyone?
 
Yes they are chrome plated spokes, my 03 has them and they too are showing signs of surface rust on the front wheel.
 
Hi i have a 04 fs650 and also didn't realise the spokes had surface rust until i got the bike home :( gutted!
