Do they get hot?

All cars are spot welded together.

Presume plated/coated after weld

Not the solution I would ascribe to German engineering, covered or not...

I'm no metallurgist, but does it mean the steel stanchion is spot welded onto the aluminium cap? Did not know you could do that. Unless, off course, the cap is not aluminium, I could be wrong.

Actually I was wrong once before, turns out I was mistaken.

An expensive solution to a 'cheaper' fork construction method.
My '09 GS has no such problems whatsoever.

Neither did my 09, but I traded it in on an LC anyway.
