Had Rekluse clutch basket & TorqDrive plates installed. Also did the Vulcan comp eliminator sprocket and new tank installed to get rid of a dent in my tank. Had a tie-down strap break loose and bike fell in bed of truck, denting one side.
Ordered the tank from Surdyke. New tank arrived much quicker than expected. I did not remove tank completely from box, as I was not installing, and did not want to risk scratching paint. Just opened up and verified it was a tank and the right color. Dropped tank and bike at shop for install (insurance claim, so I figured let a shop install and not have to mess with it). Shop owner called me to tell me he noticed small dent in tank. Took pics and submitted claim with Surdyke. Expected a fight to get it replaced. Got an email first thing next day, saying a new tank was being sent and I could keep the dented tank. Great customer service!
Not sure what kind of market is out there for tanks with dents, but I have two - one with a fairly mild dent and the brand new tank with a small dent. Both tanks paint is intact, with no chips or scrapes - the new tank almost looks like paint was applied after the dent.
