Chipped paint
Bike tipped to side and now the paint is chipped on the lower fairing. You can't see it, it is on the bottom,but I know it is there! Oh and I have only had the the Ultra for 20 days. Do I take it off and repaint, or touch it up myself?

RE: Chipped paint
If you decide to repair this chip, take it to the dealer and have them send it to their paint guy - should not cost you much as others have said. If you elect not to repaint, and, you cannot see it, I would suggest doing nothing since this is a fiberglass piece - no concern over corrosion; touch-up paint will not compliment a new UC.

RE: Chipped paint
i had a chip that was on the top of my tank when I picked it up at the dealer. they didn't notice it till they detailed the bike that day I was flying in to get it. They touched it up with a little tounch up paint and sent me on my long ride back home 
. They made a warrenty claim and said I could get it fixed when I got back home. Well that chip has benn there for a year now and I don't really ever notice it now. I contacted Harley this spring and stated that I never got a call from the dealer to arrange the repair and that I was going to repaint it this coming winter. So to make up for the repair and not calling me last year they offered me a Harley Credit and a good discount and Harley Products .
HOW COOL IS THAT HEY.
Point is little touch paint and you wont reallt pay any attention to it in a month.
