I’m nearing the completion of my modifications to my new V7III (250 miles so far). I just happened to see some Loctite spilled on the rear hub from when I was installing new rear signals from a couple days ago. When I wiped it off, It took the powdercoat with it. It was eaten away right to the raw aluminum. I tried touching it up, but it will never look right to me since I have pretty severe OCD.
My only options are 1) live with it. 2) replace the whole unit (nearly 2k) or 3) remove the hub, dismantle the guts and re-powder coat (requires several proprietary tools and the nearest dealer is hours away. Needless to say I’m not happy with any of these options.
So the lesson of the day: If you spill Loctite on anything plastic, wipe it off ASAP!!!
