Fork stress???



I was looking at my forks in preparation of disassembling them to install
new springs and valving when I noticed that the paint on the front of the
fork is looking really wrinkled.  This wrinkling is right in line and
parallel with the axle on the leg that has the pinch bolts in the front so I
am concerned.  There is no evidence of this (wrinkly paint) anywhere else on
the fork.  The paint looks like new except in this area.  I have a friend
with an 'ST' who has this same problem(?).  His showed up last year.  I
checked mine at that time and everything was perfect...no wrinkles.  The
dealer has an inquiry in with Triumph but no reply as of yet.  I am
wondering what would cause the paint to go goofy right in this specific
area.  My only thoughts are that the fork might be stressing out at that
point.  Anybody have any insight on this?  I don't want to start a
panic...just looking for an answer.
