Rust on abs ring

pugslee · Jul 16, 2015

I have a Sept 14 abs that is starting to bloody rust on the cheap bolts around the front end. Fork pinch bolts, calliper bolts, disc bolts and the ring that runs the ABS sensor. I want to upgrade the bolts to stainless but could I powder coat the ABS disc or will this affect the sensor.
The bloody thing has only seen rain twice.:banghead

Apes aren't alone in this rust area. I saw a 6 month old Honda a while ago and you'd think it had been at the bottom of the sea the amount of rust on it.
Not sure about the sensor mate.

I have replaced almost all of the bolts including, pinch bolts, disc bolts, axle nuts, caliper mounting bolts, caliper half joining bolts on my 2012 with either stainless or titanium for the very same reason.

Not sure about the abs ring though :thumbup

I hated having rust on my ring but cream sorted it right out .....

I do use it but keep well away from front and rear wheels. I once got some on the discs and had no brakes on its next trip out. Bloody thing nearly killed me.
