UPDATE 05/05/2006: So I got an email from the Dealership today... Looks like things are going positively... They needed the milage and the VIN... The Service Mgr said it looked like they were going to be able to take care of it... Will let you know what else happens.

I know it seems like a little thing... But a lot of people have chimed in on this thread with the same attitude I have... A lot of cash was laid out for the ride. Don't get me wrong... I would not "leave Harley" because of this... but it would make me think twice about buying new... If they were to not stand by this product I would probably think more about getting a used one and dropping the dough on a custom paint job. Eventually the fatboy will probably have one too... Found a nice big rock chip on the front fender the other day... But for now I think they should stand by this.

Thanks for all the feedback!

 

Good deal Postal...glad to hear it looks like things are working out.

 

Just got a call from the dealership... My new tank is on the way and will be here around the 15th of June.

I am actually kind of surprised.

 

I have a buddy that laid out an additional 4 grand for one of the Harley paint sets on his Road King. After a few months you could actually see a palm print under the clear coat. Seems that someone must have handled the tank with oily or sweaty hands during the paint process. After a few calls to HD and one simple inspection, HD made it right with him. Sent the tank back to California for a repaint and it turned out great.
