My 16 slim came with factory rust on the nacelle and developed pitting on nearly all alloy bits. I live near the beach but it's garaged always and never in the weather. Later I'll get the spokes done as the chrome is so shit just looking at it will make it rust.
Who can resist an option like that...
and the more oil they squirt on, the less rust you will get
Thanks pauly, far canal , balofski and soapbox. I' m keeping a long term perspective. It may take me 3 months to get it sorted, by which time there will probably be more rust .
Dont worry about the clunk they all do it in varying degrees
