If it's a new bike warranty issue they'll pull the part off the line and ship it to the dealership right away, if not then you just have to play the waiting game. You'll probably have the bike for a long time, what's 2 months in the grand scheme of things? At least it's winter!

Just how pissed off I am at their after sales backup.
My 2010 Road king got just a little bit dusted in a slow speed laydown due to an idiot driver.
I insurance all good...Harley you suck...over 8 weeks to get a painted front fender from the factory, wherever that is now....probably bloody Asia somewhere.
That is pathetic....Bet Victory would bust their chops to take care of one of its riders, as they are trying to gain ground wheras Harley seem to think they own it

They do.
Think of Harley as a smokin' hot babe--They KNOW they're hot & can treat people like crap, command any price they want, and they get away with it. It's our fault...if we didn't go GAGA over Harleys or hot babes, they wouldn't have that power.
To be honest; I'm surprised Harley even offers a warranty with their bikes..they'ld sell all they do even without one.

well that is a good point, and no it was not me running him. No one seems to really be doing a lot of engine mods to the victories (they are quite powerful already). so saying it was stock is a BIG assumption.

Well I had a friend who waited 6 months for tins for his road king. It all depends on the color of the bike and where they are in production at that time. Let's say if your bike is blue and the factory is doing a run of orange tins, they aren't going to stop that run just to paint you a new tin......your tin will be painted when they do that color
