Bonneville Black, less than two weeks old. Paint peeling from around the triple clamp (?) where the front forks attach to the steering. Black paint is peeling/bubbling from around the nut. I guess I am covered by waranty, but the dealer is in a different State and the hassle of having to go back to them is probably not worth it. I have 'scrapped' off what I can, so I'll go to a bodyworks to see if they can paint it without taking everything apart.
Maybe some brake fluid was spilt on the spot and this has caused a reaction? Has anyone else experienced this?

Still think the bike is***** hot. Done 451 k's in two days driving around the block! The neighbours must think I am having an early mid-life crisis.
