817 miles and my misses caught a rock on the left side of the tank.

We are both sick.

It's only stuff, no one got hurt. Do the best repair you can and ride on.

Agree tho, it does suck.

Had "Ginger" for 2 months when truck in oncoming lane of a two lane road I travel EVERY day kicked up a rock and got a chip about the size of a pin head...made (and still makes) me sick as it was first time in MANY miles/years I've had that happen and hasn't happened since.  I guess it was just my time but still....

Noticed a ding on mine today. From the underneath on the front fender. Right at the top of it. Still trying to figure this one out. Looks like a very small center punch hit it from the underside of the fender. Little "pimple" there with a few small cracks in the paint.

Check your wheel for missing weights. If one is missing you may get the fender replaced under warranty (many others have for weights flying off and damaging fender).

Several have lost wheel weights like that.  Really depends on the dealer on how they handle the fender.

It seems that the chip was not caused by a rock at all.

The left turn signal is hitting the tank.

Im taking it in Tuesday for them to take a look at it.

We will see how that goes.
