Limited warranty covers workmanship or functional defects that are apparent when the parts are new, and does not cover issues such as normal wear and tear that may arise due to regular use.
Important info about our GOLD-anodized parts -
Aluminum anodizing is an electro-chemical process that increases the thickness of a passive, naturally occurring, protective aluminum oxide film. Without this process, regular aluminum will corrode and become weak. Anodizing provides protection from these effects. One known drawback of anodized GOLD is its tendency to fade with prolonged exposure to UV rays. Since this does not affect the primary purpose of anodizing - corrosion protection - Color fading is not covered by the Sato Racing warranty. Buyers should also be aware that 'GOLD' Sato Racing parts are anodized in a unique tone that we call 'Osaka Gold' (deep and vivid, with hints of orange/ copper) that likely won't be an exact match with other anodized gold parts you may already have on your bike, especially from other manufacturers. Additionally, due to variations of the gold tone between batches of parts that are anodized, the actual shade of Gold may look different than the product photos in this listing. So if you decide to go for the GOLD, it should be with the full understanding of these characteristics of gold anodizing.
