My '14 LTD has a nasty scratch under the fork lock. Can only be seen when it is the locked position. And my CVO emblem on the fuel filler is cocked to about 11:30 position. It looks fine on the jiffy stand and probably no one else will ever notice it, but I do, every time I look down there. Maybe if we look hard enough there are flaws in all of them, like boatman says, it's what makes them "limited".

Mine came with the rear fender medallion cocked to the left at 11 o-clock.  Dealer replaced it at first service.  chit happens.
Funny, it didn't change the ride any.

People who are not familiar with production factories, saying how production factories should operate.

Not saying that mistakes are acceptable, but if anyone is familiar with them, then it's more easy to understand why mistakes happen.

Well, let me explain my side. I worked 24 years in production both on the floor and in management, and I will again say those who care will do all they can, or advise management for production improvements. I have worked the past 24 years in management with a different company and work totally with product improvements with those on the floor. I work close with the floor personal and I back them 100% when it improves production, and those that don't give a chit get weeded out.
Just saying!

In a well run, error proffed manufacturing environment stuff just don't happen. And yes, I am very familiar with manufacturing. (And darn skilled at it

I toured the Saturn assembly line in Springhill TN.  It was amazing that there were not more errors.   The car line would move and another smaller line that had the interior parts would come down the line with the correct parts that went with that vehicle.    Like what Jerry had stated.  I was truly amazed.

So are you going to leave it Bob?

My CVO emblem on the fuel filler is also cocked to about 11:30 position on the FLHTKSE The dealer gave me a new emblem, so now I have two as I simply replaced the double sided tape on the misplaced one and re-installed it to the correct angle

Your salesperson will probably indicate matching tanks emblems is an optional up-charge…  Bet they’ll be a lot of folks checking their bikes over in the next few days.

Sad thing is I have had this bike for about 6 weeks and 1200 miles and just noticed it last night when washing/waxing.  Normally I wax it a few days after I get something.

Yes, mine had 3 paint flaws, one electrical connector not connected, one bolt just not there, and - wait for this one, kind of matches yours - one chrome fork leg top cover, and one stainless one!  (Took my first waxing to notice that.....)

[Boatman]

So are you going to leave it Bob?

Got it changed last Saturday Duane.

[srnoyes]

You had me going out to the garage this AM to check on it!  I washed and waxed this weekend and didn't notice anything yet. I'll have to do a very detailed once over now.

No I understand what you're saying. I too spent quite a few years in machine production.

It happens, even though it shouldn't. In all honesty, with so many things coming and going in so many different directions, it's surprising more mistakes don't happen sometimes. No plant can accomplish 100% perfection, on every shift, every day.
