RE: New fuel tank
I call BS on Harley's end, especially the damage from shipping??
Insist they make it good, and as said file a dispute with the credit card company.
The $1000 is your money, and your didn't get what you paid for. You may consider asking them for a 50% discount on a #2 part.
Good luck,

Yeah if you pay 1000$ for a part, don't let them take you for less than you expected especially since it came with damaged hardware. As was earlier suggested, just keep requesting to talk to the boss if they refuse.

RE: New fuel tank
I don't think the decal placement would bother me as long as both sides are the same. The level placement actually looks better to me. HOWEVER, the damage to the tab and paint is not acceptable, I'm sure you paid a pretty penny. Send it back.

RE: New fuel tank
I think I actually prefer the decal placement on the new one since you added the tank lift. But like mud said, that opinion could change seeing it in person (or a full bike side shot). But the damage is somebody's fault, and they need to make it right.

RE: New fuel tank
yeah for 1000 dollars the paint had better be perfect. and tell them to order your new tank then when it arrives you'll swap them out that way you don't loose any riding time. good luck with it

I think the newer decal is off as well, But without a full pic of the bike not sure how it would compare. The bent tabs are a perfect reason to ride their *** to no end and get another tank!
I am really becomming disenchanted more and more everty timeI Buy a part from Harley.
For the price, the QUALITY SUCKS!!! It's a scam and a ripoff, but it's the price we all pay to have a Harley.
Send it Back Jimmy! They need to make you whole on this!!!!!
