At what point does it become cost effective for the MoCo to do a recall and glue the wheel weights on so that that don't fly off destroying these expensive fenders?  :nixweiss: just wondering out loud.  spyder

My guess is the small percentage that they are replacing under warranty are those that find out about the issue on forums such as this. The rest of the owners that are finding dents in their fenders are probably going on the assumption they picked up a rock or something and damage happened that way rather then knowing the real cause was of faulty wheel weights. :nixweiss:

Look at the subject of this thread. Tommy would have bit the $876.00 bullet if I hadn't shown him the light.
What was I thinking?

  Correct, I assumed i had picked up a rock until i got the info from this site. Sure enough all the wheel weights were gone & Harley is replacing the front fender on warranty. Being a member of this site saved me a grand.

I agree, this is definitely for recall. It happend to me as well on my 2011 Rio Red, exactly same damage on front fender and missing wheel weight after 1500 Miles!!!. Let's spread the word, must be more of them out there.

Just got home from my dealer to see what they would do about my recently added front fender wheel weight dings. Told the Svc Mgr about the number of incidents reported on CVOHarley. He took one look and wrote down my mileage and walked back to his desk and ordered me a new fender. Super service but it never should have happened.


Thanks again to all of you for the heads up!!

I've started a poll on 2010 & 2010 fender replacements. It's under general CVO discussion. Anyone that has problems with the wheel weights slinging off & damaging their fenders, sign in. I'm trying to find out how bad of a problem we are having with these wheel weights. I believe that we need to inform all our CVO brothers & sisters to be aware of this problem. This has got to be costing the MOCO plenty to replace all these fenders. Everyones $.02 wanted.

I have had the noids about the crummy weight application for years...annnnd the fact you dont get chrome ones.   >:(

I have lost fronts and backs....I keep them in a saddlebag...chrome and a couple of alcohol wipes...None have flown off sine I took the old ones off and put the new ones on...centered in the radius of the rim....unlike the oem slapons... >:(

If I didnt like my fairing monkeys so much I would send them to HD to build bikes .... :coolblue:

If your dealer will not contact the MoCo on your behalf find another dealer and/or contact the MoCo Customer Service directly at 414-343-4056. They (MoCo) are well aware of this problem and it's also well documented on this site of this problem and they (MoCo) replacing the fenders under warranty.
