Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't you the guy that was worried about the tank emblem being 1/16" off??

If you are the same guy, let them replace the tank. That will bother you forever.

They make the mistake. make them make it right.

Fix it, they will deduct for it when you trade it in.

AB-SO-LUTELY!!   I've always loved how the same folks who try to talk you out of getting things fixed on your new car or bike are the first ones to mention those same little flaws when explaining why they are screwing you on a trade-in allowance. 

Unless there is something else in this case that we aren't aware of, I can't think of a single reason for not having the dealership replace the damaged/defective parts under warranty.  It's not like you'd be getting a back alley respray; with CVO's they actually replace the parts with another part painted by the same OE vendor.

Yeah I will be replacing the tank for sure, the damage on the inside left of the tank already drives me nuts!

You'll be so much happier doing that. It's funny how when we get a blemish on our bikes whenever we walk by it our eyes are drawn right to it. You/We can never get it out our mind.

Your decision.... but I'd have it replaced or at least let them order one and decide when it comes in if I wanted to actually replace it.

yeah.. have them order one in and replace it when you put a bigger nick in the piece.... then you will not have to go through the whole touch up process like on another topic....

Its coments like that when I know I am not Alone!!

Make them fix it !

Yeah, no kidding sometimes I feel like I am getting nitpicky......then I read some threads, and don't feel so bad!!!

They call me "Warranty Dick", I would not be bothered by how nit picky you think you are.

If it's an issue with you..........claim it! All they can do is say no.

My mirror chipped down in Florida last month....claimed it, got a new one.
Last week the emblem for the air cleaner was pitted.....claimed it, got a new one.

I will continue to do this for the life of the warranty, and if the dealership complies with most or all, I will extend the warranty. If not............I won't.

Dick-

Agree  absolutely, since becoming a member on this site I have been much more aggressive with getting repairs and expect higher quality work done on my bike.  After all, as dedicated HD customers, we deserve it.

Sad part is that as the buyers of their highest cost product line you would think they would be proactive in the resolution of known issues. Unfortunately this is not readily the case.

Roger that, I have tried really hard to get the mechanics at the dealer to understand that I am not the typical HD owner....I expect impeccable work done with a higher degree of attention to detail.
