4.5 gal tank 2013 Sportster 72 "RANT!"
don't know what warehouse but it was in original box from manufacturer in Taiwan & had NO packing inside at all & tank was banged around & breaking through box which was falling apart. I'm surprised it made it as far as it did in that condition. A blind monkey could've realized it was f'd up
I'm taking her out tomorrow morning for a ride to work she'll like that
Saw your video. It does look like it was damaged in transit. I wonder if the delivery driver did the damage or could it have been damaged before the delivery driver even touched it. Either way UPS will end up paying for it in the end. I have the 4.5 gallon tank on my 09 Sportster 1200xl low and love it. I bought the new analog digital speedo from Harle along with the optionall gas level sensor. Really enjoy knowing how my fuel is doing when I am on a long haul.

yea I've been buying from JP Cycles for years & this is the first time anything like this has happened I hope it's not a sign of things to come or that they've lowered their standards because there's a lot of other things I want to purchase as the money comes up but I may have to find a new company to do business with
for UPS employee here. that got damaged in shipping. driver ran from your porch cause he probably had half his route still left and didnt want to have to talk to you about it, because he cant do anything; you have to call up and talk to their claims department.

Lol wife in her PJ's, that's funny ****, it happened in transit not while on the drivers truck or in his posession, driver couldn't help so he didn't want to stick around to catch the flack for it. You would be blown away if you saw how the UPS/Fedex/every other carrier employees in the major hubs handle packages. Everything that leaves my warehouse is double boxed and wrapped 2X in bubble pack and cush paper, better safe then sorry and my customers appreciate it. This time of year those drivers run 12 hour days or more so they do everything they can to save time/headache. Sorry to hear about the situation but glad JP is going to make it right, seems like a fluke on their part that it left with no packing. At the end of the day the finger has to be pointed at JP, they should know that the carrier will abuse the package and pack the product for that situation.

where'd you get that price ? My dealer wanted about twice that. Is that the price for the 4.5 sportster tank?
yea I can't blame him for making a run for it I probably would've done the same if I was him, "BUT" he didn't have to throw or drop it so hard that the noise made me think someone had ran into my truck parked out front. I would've set it down softly & snuck away. Can't UPS refuse to accept a damaged package for shipping if it was already like that? I don't know. Somebody screwed up & the only thing I did wrong was order from JP Cycles apparently
