Expensive fender!
« on: July 19, 2011, 09:58:45 AM »
While on one of the rides at Ribfest this year I was going through a turn and ran over a rock about the size of your fist.  The front end shifted left and I heard the rock hit what I thought was the bottom of the bike.  While cleaning the bike a few weeks later I noticed about six dents in the front fender.  Turns out that all or part of the rock was picked up by the back edge of the fender and it traveled inside of the fender from back to front.  Guess I was lucky it didn't lock the front wheel up!  New fender $876!

That sucks Tommy, but, at least you didn't crash or get hurt. It's just a pile of nuts and bolts. Oh, and mega$$$$.

Check one of the discounters - Zanotti, Tri-County, Chicago, etc.  Just checked Zanotti's online site and they list the fender for my '11 RUSE at $752.  Still high but better by 15%.  I think Tri-County might even be less. :2vrolijk_21:

Zanotti are great to deal with. Ordered a fender when mine got hit and it was delivered in less than 3 weeks. Price was 15-20% lower too. Talk to John. He's a good guy.

I know the pain as well.... some IDIOT at work backed into my fender -- destroying it.  I had to order a new one.  MSRP is $876 (Blue Coblat) and I paid $752 from RonniesHD.  Not only is that a problem, but delivery is 45 stinking business days!  That is 9 weeks.  Man, driving around with a pile of crap is not too much fun!

Harley Davidson should replace your fender under warranty per our conversation.
Who is here for you Tommy?

Sorry for your bad luck Tommy, at least you didn't hit the asphalt.  Listen to Chip, you will either get a new fender free or 30 days of incarceration for falsifying a report.   :huepfenlol2:

Check your front tire for a missing wheel weight. They come off and ding the fenders from the inside just like your pictures.

Talk to Chip about it.
