Didn't Honda have a problem with bad welds on Gold Wing frames a few years ago?

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

We aligned a Ryker in Louisiana, I believe he was from KY, and he had pkenty of rust in the hubs and elsewhere.
I live in Quebec, Canada and have been biking for 50 years or so and I would always wait till after the first good rain storm of spring to wash the salt and sand off the roads. It is tempting to ride early but it comes at a cost. On a 3 wheeler it is rust and on a 2 wheeler it can be rust as well as parts because you had a wipe out in a puddle whose bottom was still ice.

Just get some "The Must For Rust" or generic phosphoric acid from Home Depot, paint section and spray on. It turns rust back into metal (iron oxide -> iron). Just periodically re-apply as necessary.

Winnex3 could you tell us exactly where that weld is? I'd like to see if I have the same/similar issue. Although the spatter is cosmetic, based only on this image (what looks like clustered porosity, circled below), it looks to me as though the weld was reworked/repaired. In my experience such things have a funny habit of repeating themselves on the assembly line.

I'm guessing you have a 2019 model year? You may want to invest in caps...

x2 for those. works amazingly well for little money.
some guy did a test on all those corrosion inhibitors, wd version didn't do so well. I regularly use fluid film, which is really just animal fats, on my 50hp tractor, zero turn, and equipment. Fluid film didn't do well in the test either. I would still use wd40 for the water displacement, then use something else afterwards. I can't remember the guys name, it was posted on the tractor forums before. I use a lot of acids in my side hustle, I don't worry about rust. I doubt you do either living up there.
Side note: I will unlock my door and pass the cemetery gates
