RE: HELP!! Deep scratches...
No clue.
How deep are they, can you feel them with your fingernail? Most scratches can be buffed and polished to appear less deep, it basically rounds the edges down on the deep ones. Lighter ones can be removed usually. After a good buff, use some heavy fill glaze to help fill the scratches, then a few coats of wax. A lot of the time this process will make the scratches look a 100% better, but not 100%.

RE: HELP!! Deep scratches...
I had a rock pop up and put a big chip in the center of the front fender in July. Bike was a month old at the time.....D'oh.
Soke to the dealer and he said to buy the colour matched touch up piant from them and take it to a pro. Said it would be about 200 but would look perfect.
I ended up buying the from fender spear and it covered the chip and looks ok.

Is it true that you can send parts like this back to Harley and they will fix them??
Thanks...
