Rust Repair
Friends – I found rust in three unused screw holes (you can see two of them in the picture) on this part whose name I don’t know (fork brace?) I went to the dealer to ask if my warranty would cover this kind of thing and was told that it didn’t; the Service Manager offered to use some touch up paint to cover the rust, which didn’t seem to be a good solution to me as it just seemed to me like covering up a problem that will only get worse.
I am not experienced mechanically (although I am pushing myself to do as much repair and maintenance as I can on my Harley) and it occurred to me that I might want to tap out the screw holes to remove all the rust prior to painting them with touch up paint. Is this the right course of action, or would anyone propose that I do anything else?
As always, I am grateful for any help and guidance!

That would be a good idea .
How about taking a brass bore cleaner brush attachment for a firearm, chuck it in a drill and clean out the hole without tearing anything up.
