Just returned from HD and now have a new front fender!!   took some time, as in most cases with special paint but worth the wait.  HD came through.  No questions, no problems.  Glad to see they are taking care of these issues.  Dealer also replaced the larger chrome wheel weights with the smaller ones.  Hopefully this solves any future challenges.

Bike is back to looking great without a ding in the fender!

As it should!
Ride safe and watch those new weights, I know I am.

Three dings in the fender and Caliente HD got the new fender ordered at no cost to me.  The good thing is now that I got a new front tire it balanced without needing any of those silly weights.  I won't have to worry about the new fender getting nicked.

Has the MoCo made any recent comments on using dynabeads? There was a post somewhere that said either they don't recommend or didn't comment. With all the fenders they're replacing I would hope they would at least accept that owners are using beads or the other balancer options besides weights. Wonder what happens with the old dented fenders? Do they require that they are turned back in to the MoCo or left to the owner or dealer? Would like to find one for a project.

The box my new fender came out of, the dented fender went into.
Then shipped back to the MoCo.

 I brought this up before, but take a look at Centramatic wheel balancers.
You will never have to worry about those ugly wheel weights again.

Tazman, 

Are you running Centramatic wheel balancers? If so, post some pics of your wheels after installation.

Yes I am, and if I took a picture you really can't see them
unless you stare behind the brake rotor. I have an 06, and the rotors on
mine cover up 95% of the Centramatics. I have the polished stainless
and they look the same as my rotors. I have about 7.5k on the current set
of tires, and the bike rides as smooth as the day the tires went on.
 The Centramatics also have some kind of gyro affect, making the bike
"feel" more stable too.  I really can't explain it but everyone I know that
has them says the same thing.  I sure wish they made them for cars
because I'd be the first in line for a set.
I heard they make them for pickups, but not yet for cars.

If you go to there website, they have pictures of them mounted on an FLH.

That's what I was thinking about. I remembered someone had posted on this but didn't remember the name. Thanks for reposting on these.

8 days after Caliente HD ordered my front fender I received a call that it's-Nice turn around time    No complaints, thats one for the good guys

Its been a while since last post on this thread but I had the same problem recur.  My rear wheel weights were barely hanging on when I washed my bike.  I had this problem with the front and had to have the fender replaced but this time I noticed things befroe it caused damage.  Haven't had time to take it back to the dealer yet but wanted to know if there has been a "real" fix to this-any thoughts?

MKW,

Go with Dyna Beads! Peel those wheel weights off & install the beads. It takes some time to install, just go by the instructions.

You will never have to worry about having another fender damaged. It is a good product & cheap insurance. The MOCO should install these from the factory. Wheel weight damage to the fenders have cost them alot of money.

MKW - You can buy Dynabeads at Renegade Classics at 8650 Bandera Road and get them installed. Ponch installed mine for just the cost of the beads and didn't charge me for the labor. Installed them while I waited.
