Sefatboyscott, I am so sorry to see this.  It is so easy to ship it the right way, looks like the company who sent this out, picked the wrong way.  Four more months?  I really empathise with you.

Hmmm. That is the exact way my fender on my old Fat Boy looked after I backed into a small tree. :'( If that's the way they (MoCo) is selling them new maybe I should mark my damaged fender as new and return it for credit.  ;D

IMHO that doesn't look quite right.

whats crazy is the clear coat is not cracked and it looks like the fender was a bit twisted before the paint was applied and the shipping box has no dents and is in perfect shape........this happened before shipping! The QC guys are really on top of things huh?

Scott,
Send a PM to Mobe.  At one time he had a contact at the painters that sped up the process for him after many many paint issues.

Scott,

looks to me that it got dropped right on the edge at some point, which made the tip of the fender buckle under. hell, it would not take much to bend it if someone carelessly dropped it on end before shipping?

I decided I will keep this fender. I managed to get it mostly straight again with some gentle persuation without doing any apparent damage to the paint. I will just cover the imperfections with

You should've been allowed to keep this one as an interim replacement while they got you another one that was right.  And the little covers should have been freebies for the incompetence and delay.

Are you really satisfied with "mostly straight" and with giving H-D another $30 of your hard-earned money to cover up a flaw in the paint of your high-dollar, limited-production, motorcycle that shouldn't have been there to begin with by using a part that may or may not give you the look you want after it's installed?

I thought your fender was damaged before you picked your brand new bike up. Does your stealer not have to do the warranty work & return the damaged fender to HD. Why are you even fitting the fender?

The whole story is this. I baught the bike and it had a small chip in the rear fender. Since then I have moved half way across the country since waiting on the fender. Could I go through the trouble of getting my new local dealer to do the work, probably. But I would rather trust my bike in my own hands than someone else and I can do it myself with no problems. As far as getting a new fender, they probably would send me a new fender again but I waited close to 5 mnths for this one and I guess I could wait another 5 mnths for yet another fender but it hardly seems worth it to me. I have the original fender still and now this new one. I did manage to get it looking pretty good, you would be hard pressed to notice its not totally perfect.With all the other problems I am having...........mainly fighting my local dealer to fix what got messed up in his parking lot, the rear fender is the least of the problems and I just want that chapter closed that is why I opted to just get the fender trim. I am hoping that the dealer who sold me the bike will send me the part free of charge, I let them know how I want to resolve it and now I am awaiting an answer.

I also want to mention that the Dealer I purchased my bike from was Century Harley in Medina Ohio. They have been great to us. I have baught 4 bikes from them this year and always recieved nothing but the best treatment and service. I recommend them to anyone. The dealers in my new local area don't have that same feeling when you walk in. At Century we became sort of family quick. I know everyone who works there and they all know us. I guess that will happen when you total out about 100g spent in less than 6 mnths there.

Sorry to say but this may be the usual complaint you will here from anyone who has ever had to deal with HD and paint issues with a CVO bike. My husband had a 2003 SE Road King, had paint issues right from the day he picked it up. Saddlebags and side covers color just didn't quite match the rest of the bike. Was real noticible out in the sun light. Those items were a lighter color of gold than the rest of the bike. After 5 tries and 18 months it still didn't match proper. He ended up trading for a 2005 SE Electra Glide the day I went in and purchased my SE Fat Boy. Hope your second time around with them turns out to be a better one. Sandy
