Just a thought - depending on where you bought them from, if you send it back you'll lose the money you spent to have it shipped to you. You'll have to pay to ship it back and they may try to pop you with a restocking charge. You could probably fix the overspray issue for way less than it would cost to send them back.

I'm not sayin' it's right cause they should have been perfect to start with. It might just cost less in the long run to take care of it and ride on. Only you can decide what will let you sleep at night.

As a side note, I went out and looked at the ones that came on my 08 UC and they have a little overspray inside - along with some dirt, dust and sand......

 

Send them back or have them repainted.
Mine were ok but over time,the black has faded to white.

 

Dealers will not take back painted parts...none I ever seen anyway. Just what everyone else has said, "that's the way they are". It's no big deal.

 

+1!! IMO @ $600.00 they should perfect!

 

That's the way they are? Not in my book. I'm sure that HD is aware that they have many customers out there who have no problem paying premium prices for a less than quality product. I'd send it back just on G.P.

 

The question I pose is this. Being that the color is vivid black and the inner is black colored plastic its not that noticeable. What if my bike was orange. Then what . That would be majorly noticeable. So just b/c the bike is black I shouldnt care ??

 

I bought mine used at a swap meet color matched and noticed the over spray I just sprayed the inside gloss black !!!

 

I understand all of you guys painting their oversprayed lowers. And I understand the inner gets dirty. And I understand I shouldnt be bitching here but I think I just want to raise awareness on this forum. If everyone stood up instead of just spraying there parts When we all pay good hard earned money then I think moco would have to step it up. At the price we pay for bikes and parts we should get nothing but quality. Ducati would never allow this. Nor would honda or 20 other companys out there. Why should we just accept this ?

 

I had red fire pearl ones, they dont paint the inside its bare abs but I had clearcoat overspray on it. You asked for it to be perfect, well thats HDs version of perfect. IMHO. You get used to it a few rainstorms on them and theyll have character.

 

You are absolutely correct. Unfortunately, there are too many willing to pay good money for a turd as long as it has an HD logo on it.
