Not at all. I would have your dealership look into this. I just got a brand New SGS outer fairing replaced under warranty in less than three weeks. They gave me a 6 week lead time when ordered and it arrived in three

depends on the color and year -- from what I hear they don't clean the gun to paint just one item of a color -- they want several -- I have heard of people waiting 6 months or more

Painted parts......6-8 weeks is the norm. If you get it sooner, you are one of the lucky ones.
As has been stated, they don't gear -up for one fender.

Ordered some bags. I was quoted 6-8 weeks. I figure more like 3 months till it's here. I know how these things work and it takes as long as it takes. Don't expect anything right away unless it is in stock. I figure by the time the new bags arrive I will have forgotten all about them.
