Anyone seen or had this problem?

I bought a 07 FLSTC back in sept. No problems with it at all and i have 3000 miles on it now. The gas fill on my brother in laws 07 FLSTC is bare metal inside like most I have seen. Mine is black like the bike. About a month ago what looked like clear coating was flaking up. I was in the dealer today and saw that all the 08's despite color are black inside the filler. Harley says that since my problem isnt visible on the outside that its not covered under warranty, BUT the dealer says thats crap and is fixing it anyway. Has anyone else seen or had this problem? Im just happy to have a dealer that went to bat for me and is fixing it themselves. With that kind of service they will always have my business. So Kudos to Fraizers Harley for doing the right thing.

Fraziers Harley-Davidson in Buford, Ga is my dealership. They went above and beyond in service. I dropped it off yesterday and I had it back by 10am the next day. I left the tank really low knowing they had to drain it. I get it back and have a full tank of fuel. They are a stand up crowd and like to work with their customers.

thats cool that the dealer said thats BS and they are going to fix it any way. most of the time I go in to the dealer they are more interested in how much I can spend. Wow, a dealer with a concious!!!!
