While cleaning the bike I noticed these bolts where looking very very bad, I think it's a design fault myself and they used the wrong material. I'm going to see what Triumph say about it. Have a look and see what you think. Click to see bigger pic.

Wow! Yeah , they don't look right. Keep the rubber on the ground! 8-) .....You know what,I glanced at mine today and they have a chalky appearance, I believe they are heat treating themselves..through time add moisture...will rust. I'm gonna hit mine with a small wire brush and get some anti-moisture solvent on them WD-40 or such.
