well it has happened, yesterday, I was doing some work in my shop, as usual at the end of the day I closed and locked everything up. today, as I went out to take a ride, I unlocked and opened the door...BANG.....CRASH..... CLANK!!!!! I looked and there he was, staring at me with beedy eyes, 3 inch claws, and a 5 inch beek!!!! I looked and there was a trail of chit from the top of my windshield down to the gas tank......3 inches wide!!!!! when I was a child my favorite cartoon was the roadrunner....... now, I know why the coyote was always tring to kill that mother f*&%$#%^.  yes, my bros a roadrunner. let me tell you, these are NOT harmless sweat birds. I cannot discuss here on a public forum, what became of this monster, but, I can tell you of the damage this f#&*^&^% did. the chit was easyly cleaned off. and was a good laugh. but, upon farther inspection, the real damage came to light........ front fender looks as though he used it as a skating rink. tank is the same. inner farring is toast. 1 saddle bag scratched to hell!!!!!
I am aware the clearcoat on these bikes is soft, does anyone know can it be buffed out? I tell you this story in a humorus way, only becouse it keeps me from crying!!!!! I know some of the scratches are to deep to be buffed. but I would like some input on what products and equipment can be used to remove the minor ones.
thanks Randy

Man that really sucks. Best of luck working this out and getting your bike back to what it was and should be.

just spoke with the dealer, he said, to get a estimate from HD, the parts would have to be sent off, inspected then a estimate would be issued. looks like some serious down time.

Check w/your insurance company maybe you can get some estimates from some local painters/body shops. Maybe they can even suggest that due to the fact that it's a factory custom paint to get it to match w/the rest of the bike then parts should be replaced from the factory. This way you could order the parts, and still be riding until they come in.

naw, you ever rung a chickens neck!!!!!

Yes, your insurance should cover it. I would file a claim on your bike and homeowners policies. Whether the damage was done by a roadrunner or vandals, it wouldn't matter.
I had no idea roadrunners liked watermelon, I hope they don't like bananas.

I was thinking in regards of a way to keep you riding while you are waiting on painted parts. You may also want to see if someone can match the paint up an repair it.
