What a bunch of whiners!!!!!! What do you expect for only $35,000.00??? (just kidding)
And if you remember it was only a few months ago that the HD assembly crew threatened to strike for more money!!!!???

What a joke!

I must report that my bike came in pretty much perfect with regard to paint. Also it is by far the coolest MC I have ever owned so far. I am very pleased with it. CD

I was checking out a 2011 b/o sesg, the lower speaker covers in the fairing lowers were a different color orange than the lower fairing, not bad for 5k over msrp.  ???

Mine is that way, anyone else?

I was worried when I saw this thread so I went out to the garage to take a look. I have to say that my 2011 Autumn Haze paint is really good. No color mismatches, no hairs, no blemishes.

By the way, a litlle later this morning I am installing my new V &H Dresser Duals and V & H Hi-Output Mufflers. Can't wait to hear the sound.

I was at the dealership 4 times in the last 2 weeks since my ride arrived. I did not see anything wrong with the paint. It will be in my garage in about 3 hours and you all know i will be in there for the rest of the day  ::). I will be going over it wit the fine tooth comb. :2vrolijk_21:

I have been looking for issues on mine and have not found any.  I put it under real bright lights and the paint all matches.   What other issues are you seeing??

I didn't have any paint issues from the factory.  However, the dealership did do a "wipe down" with the Harley gloss in prep for me coming to pick the bike up.  I normally never let anyone ever wash any of my vehicles at all.  Of course, their wiping created a lot of light spider webbing that I could see, but I am very critical.  I took the bike home and washed, clayed, and polished the bike and I have an absolutely flawless paint now.  To my dealers credit, they did note that the front wheel had a very very small blemish and they were already replacing it before I arrived to pick the bike up.  I am pleased.

Mine looked great at the dealer ship.  hen I got it in my garage with brighter lights it looked pretty poor.  There are fine scratches all in the paint and they had to order me a ne piece that goes down the center of the tank.  The dealer is going to have a guy come out and try to buff out the scratches.  We will see!

Worth mentioning from the multiple vehicle related forums people rarely start a thread with, everything works, no issues.

You guys scared me, when I got mine took a look under a bright light.  My paints perfect.  Maybe theres a strike date problem and got better afterwards?
