    It is powdercoat not paint, and thats the first issue with it that i have seen . Hard to tell from the pic but is the rail crushed? All of your issues would be gladly rectified by powerpole.

    must just be the light refection in pic. Stripe damage threw me off as well. Just contact powerpole send them the pic im sure you will be pleased, also speak with them about your foot switches and remotes.

    That's definitely a first if you've never hit anything. My blades are over six years old and look like they just came out of the box. PowerPole will certainly take care of you.

    I contacted PP about mine fading at the bottom. Sent pics, no word yet. Mine are 3 years old, but they are the cheap anodized Sportmans 2.

    Contact Power Pole and provide them with the serial number off the pole. It's possible the build has an issue with primer and finishing layer bonding. they will know by the serial number

    So blades with the powercoat coming off is a defect & covered under warranty, but my 3 year old Sportsmans that are anodized are not covered. So I will have to take a hit when I sell them because of this. Thing is PP knew about the prone to fading but never mentioned it. Amazing.

    Tracer1 anything anodized will fade in the sun that's why powdercoat is much better and durable ex: black turns a purple hue my Harley parts are doing it too I'm just gonna powdercoat them all and be done.

    I'll going to have mine powdercoated also. Use my poles every trip & like them. Main reason I got the sportsmans was they were lighter. Have enough weight on my rear as it is.
    Thanks
