MOCO'S QUALITY WORK
« on: February 18, 2007, 12:44:44 PM »
I was going to wait to do upgrade's, but after reading some fine advice here from some of you decided to go ahead. Installed V&H ovals first then took off the stock air cleaner and found this. After seeing this thought I would share what I saw. These are supposed to be Harley's finest machine's. Really show's!!! Think this could have any effect on runability. >:(. And the dealer wants a good Customer Satisfaction Report. :huepfenjump3:

Now the gasket on the backside of the backplate. They only got one bolt through one of the actual bolt holes in the gasket. I really wonder how it would have ended up had I waited 1000 miles or so before changing out the ac.

Hey, it's in a place where you can't see it, so it's gotta be OK, right? :nixweiss:

That's freakin' unbelievable.  You know they're mounting that backing plate first, and then installing the filter and cover after that.  To not see that mis-placed gasket in the process (or care about it if they did) is amazing. :confused5:

Yeah, they even have those raised plastic humps that the gasket sits over so this won't happen. And I thought these bikes were built by a special group of people. I guess they ride the short bus to work.

  hey ; mike , if  i were  you  i  would  have  taken  that  bike  rite  back  to  the  dealer  and  showed  them !!   they  would  have  inspected it  and  seen  who  put  that  together  on  ther line  and  gotten  repromanned...  or  suspended.....just  to  set  that  line  straight  on  the  assembly... that  is  the  only  way we  are going to  get  MOCO  act  together ...   WHEN  A  BIKE  OR  MOTOR  GOES  DOWN  THE  LINE IT  IS  NUMBERED  BY  VIN OR PARTS ,  AND THEY  KNOW  THE PERSON  THAT  WAS  DOING  THAT  JOB , THAT  DAY ..... VERY PERSON  IS  SIGNED  TO  A  POSITION  , EVERY MINUTE .... thanks , JEFF

I'll bet the CVO assemblers, who "hand build" every one of our bikes, make a LOT more than $22 bucks an hour too.

That's the new restrictor plate on the 110's, didn't everybody know that?   ;)

I plan to take the pictures and the backing plate in to show the dealer. Also when I took the saddle bags off found a scratch and a big discolored section on the backside of one of the bags. I'll post a pic of that when I get a chance, but that probably falls under the can't see it when the bag is on the bike. :confused5:

Or to strike.....

This is scary.  I was thinking that when I get the bike I will need to ask the dealer to tighten all the bolts etc. Seems a deeper investigation of how the bike was assembled will be needed...

Terry,
I thought that was the CVO crew's version of  "roll your own" :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2:
Can't wait to finally get my B&O and "strip her down".  Wonder how much "bailing wire and bubble gum" (that's for all us Southern folk  ;D) I'll find >:(.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear them tell you that you staged the pictures. Think I'm kidding? Just ask MikeL about his saddlebags. :o
