    Has anyone else had this. I've got a 97 VFR which has done about 60,000 miles and I've got paint peeling off the whole front of the lower fork legs. Someone pointed the finger to brake dust getting under the paint. Has anyone else had this and how best did you remedy it. :eek:

    Cheers

    I bought some fake carbon fiber decal and put them on mine while new. I suppose you could do it to hide the blemishes.
