As far as the gold and the lines, mine is on the kickstand side. After I pointed it out to the dealer, everyone at the dealedship came to look at it. All said yep I see it know. Dealer ordered me a new tank, $1100.00, went to have it installed today. Owner came and found me in the parts dept. and stated you better look at this new tank before we start anything. WOW, the new tank out of the box was horrible!! Lines every where. The owner said their is no way he was going to put that tank on my bike. The dealer is going to have a serious talk with their rep and get back to me. They also have another brand new Sunrise setting on the floor. The owner was going to take that tank off and put it on mine until he looked at it. All the LINES are on the other side. Several distinctive lines. What the hell is H.D. doing??? I think a monkey could do a better job of putting these emblems on. For $31K, you would figure at least the paint and decals would be right!!!!
