Re: Fork stress???



My fork lowers show the same "stress cracking" of the paint.  One theory could be that the fastener preload changes with change in ambient temperature due to the fork lowers being aluminum and the bolts being steel (different temperature expansion rates).  Aren't these the same forks used on the Honda VFR?   Has anyone else seen this phenomenom on a VFR?
