Thanks to everyone on this forums that helped me spend some money this year and thanks to everyone i ordered from. Hopefully i will get my fender soon so i can post some pictures
Man do I feel your pain! I get one delay after another. I finally after 2 months of aquiring my parts and wheels needed for install, delivered everything to my Maryville, TN. Harley stealer service department. After two days of everything just sitting there (I had an appointment), no quote (just an estimated time of 8 hours), no work even started, I went down down there this morning to see WTF is up? THEY TELL ME AT LEAST 3 DAYS AND 16-20 HOURS OF LABOR!!!!@#%^#$ AT $75 an HOUR!!!!. I have $310 service credit there, and that's going to cover the cost of install of wheels/tires, rotors, and pulley. As for the rest of my stuff???? I packed it back up into my truck, and told them where to go... I bought two bikes there in a 6 month period!!! I went over to Knoxville Harley and they were more than happy to have my business, and are half the service cost! Another delay, but they'll get my bike and work done on Wednesday. Sorry to vent on your thread. I'd tell your painter to give you your tins AND money back, and find another painter!! That is entirely unacceptable!! Good luck my friend, and I can't wait to see the mods!!

over the years I notice that I keep running circles with the dealers around here, everytime they get to cocky about me spending money with them I go to the other lol
