A month after I took delivery of my 05flstsci, a small paint bubble appeared on my gas tank and the dealership ordered a new tank and installed it at no cost. Maybe it depends on the dealership you are doing business with.

I would be firm about having the problem fixed...whatever that entails. If the dealship is not willing to help you, let them know they will have no further business from you or your friends. I would stand by my word on this!

I agree. Stand your ground and make the dealer fight the MoCo to get it fixed.

I dont think your being too **** at all. You bought a new 06 bike and it should look like it has a new 06 paint job. Hopefully your dealer will do the right thing. Keep us informed on how they treat you in this matter.

So do you think I am just being way to **** about this?
Absolutely not! You've paid a fair whack of money for a quality product. It may be small but definately not insignificant.

Keep us posted. Hope this has a happy ending.

My bike had paint chipping around the mounting hole of the front fender. They replaced the fender twice. Your dealer needs to concider that there are others around. I would try another dealer. I think your warranty is honored at any dealer.
