I have some very minor pitting in the chrome on my primary cover. Very hard to notice, but it's there. My question is: Will the dealer replace this part under warrenty for an issue like this?

 

They might. Depends on whether you live in a coastal or area that uses salt on the roads.also on how long you have had the bike. You stand a good chance.

 

Thanks MACK.

I'm going to contact the service department tomorrow and ask. I bought the bike on 1/12/08. You can't hardly see the pitting, but I know it's there now and it'll bug me. Also, I'm worried that the chrome will eventually start peeling...

 

Hmmmm... sounds like a casting problem[sm=nono.gif]

 

Sounds like MoCo shitty chrome job to me.[:@]

 

They replaced my saddlebag guard without question, for the chrome turning. If they give ya a hard time, maybe you could offer to do the labor end of it as a compromise but you should have to live with poor chrome job.

 

I had the same problem with my wheels. Dealer had to take pictures and send them to MOCO, and of course they said "sorry your problem". Now, I live in AZ and the bike is in the garage and clean alllllll the time. The bike had sat for a few months in the garage during the summer and after reading on here I believe it is caused by theshtty brake padsthat harley supplies. The dealer had me call MOCO direct and they basically blew me off.When I asked to speak to a manager the customer svc rep said "this has issue has been viewed by 2 peole at MOCO and CAN NOT be escalated any higher". My opinion at this point is I will NOT buy another piece of chrome from Harley after the way I was treated.

 

If it really is pitting, then there is no way that should happen in the short space of time between taking delivery and now.

 

Right. I think it was like that when I took delivery.

 

Hey Silverbak, I got my 2008 FLHX Street Glide on Dec. 1, 2007. I noticed the same problem yesterday when cleaning and polishing mine! I live a long way from the coast and have not been near the salt water with it. I am going to polish it with orange Wenol and see what happens.
