Handlebar - rust.

[MrSweden]

This worries me a bit:



What do you think? Apparently water slips in and get stuck there. Not a very good place to get rust. Or do I overreact?

Wow, that seems like a design oversight. Might want to drill a weephole in each.

Mine isn't like that at all - dry as a bone and no sign of any rust - very weird!!

Is this picture before or after you swapped the bars?

Maybe the after market ones are not quite a perfect seal?

I'd clean it all out, spray with some rust inhibitor and try a small smear of silicone around the mating faces before reassembly...

WoW! Just added checking mine to my 2do list.

Remove clean and silicone plug it

I'm curious to know what your dealer would say.
