Every post is a testament to the problem that won't go away until the last bike is right. Comon' HD .... get yer head outta yer ass and make it right for ALL 06 owners! 
Except they're not. And won't ever be.
Was out riding for a few hours this afternoon. Pulled in to the local dealership to answer nature's call and get a drink of water. Parked next to an 06 SEUC that was noticably bad from 20 feet away.
Without thinking about it beforehand asked the guy sitting on the bike how long he'd been waiting for his new paint. "New paint?" he asked, "what new paint?"
Immediately thought "uh oh" as by the tone of his voice you could tell the guy thought I was saracastically saying his bike was uglier than hell. I briefly told him of all that happened with so many people suffering through this problem and that he too was obviously a candidate for new tins.
The guy was still pissed. Said his bike "looked great" and that he didn't appreciate my "smart mouth."
He did then call his own dealer while he was sitting there though. Said the service manager was a friend of his who would give him the straight scoop. The "friend" told him not to worry, there was no such wide ranging problem, said his bike was "perfect" and that the guy feeding him this "bullchit" was a "f*****g asshole" just trying to cause trouble. Then to emphasize the point he called me a "f*****g asshole" again and flipped me the bird.
At that point I told him he was right, I was mistaken, and that his problem wasn't bad paint. His problem was a dumass owner willing to ride an ugly ass bike with bad paint rather than accept a little well intended advice and admit he was too damn dumb to see the obvious. Also said something about the overall appearance of the bike being a perfect mate (dull and ugly) to the appearance of the passenger and offered a suggestion as to him being the last piece in the matched set to ride them both. Things might have actually gone downhill from there but he got mad and rode away.
