How old is the bike? I'm sure if it's still under warranty, they'll cover the part unless it became damaged.

That sucks! However.... it really doesn't surprise me. When I stripped my tank down during the rebuild, I actually found filler in the stock HD tank. It was there since the bike was built. I bought it brand new off the showroom floor. You'd think the MoCo would do a little better job. Let us know what you find out from the dealer. Good luck

Default RE: Paint Issues UPDATE!

The MOCO is redeemed in my eyes, I emailed them Pics of my tank & they will cover parts & labor! That saves me about $600. Its good they are covering it because they should, i have the extended warranty
