Default Softail Slim, turn signal indicator lights hit tank

Anyone else have a chip in the paint where the turn signal indicator light hits the tank? It's only on the left side. Really pissed me off.

Guessing you mean your turn signal "assy" is hitting tank...I'd take bike back to dealer as they should've caught this during pre-sale assembly/inspection. The signal housings must be checked for clearance to ensure they don't hit at full left/right bar positions.

Have to ask, did you do any mods to the bars or lights to cause this? If not - should be good to go.

Bars, lights, signals etc are all stock. I haven't messed with them at all. I've since moved so I'm no longer anywhere near the dealer where I originally purchased the bike. I guess I can take it in and see what the dealer can do. I want to throw some apes on it anyway but the damage is already done. It's not a huge deal but there's a mark there for sure.
