I picked up a new Street Glide on Wednesday and was checking it over today. I took off the saddle and noticed this sticker pointing to a small speck under the paint. What should I do? Do I tell my dealer, and what should I expect from them? This is my first Harley, and I'm still recovering from the beating my wife gave me after I told her how much I spent.

 

heck yeah Id take it back they obviously knew they had a problem with it before it was sent out. Tell them your thinking of putting on a solo seat and that blem will show up.
Make sure you save the sticker tho. never know when your going to put a scratch in it and maybe that will get it fixed free... hahaha then again maybe not

 

hard to tell how bad it is in the photo is it like a spec of dust under the paint? if so they probably won't do anything but just the same i would ask.

 

I can hear 'em now; " That's within specs, its normal !! "

 

Ya,the sticker probly means a quality inspector inspected it!

 

They all have that sticker.........

 

Really, don't remember mine having that one?

 

I've never seen that sticker either. I think they would fix that. Why point it out if it is normal.

 

..it's actually pointing to the one, tiny spot, on the WHOLE bike, that was painted with quality...it's a way of showing the paint dept how the WHOLE bike should look....

nah....I actually think HD has some of the best paint quality in the whole Automotive world..I was at PPG paint seminar a couple years ago as part of my job, and the rep said that NO ONE is as fussy about paint as HD....I would show the dealer and see what they want to do..

 

I thought we were playing "what would the dealer say"!
