Default Boom Audio dented Fender

I installed the Boom Audio Cruiser Amp on my 12 Road King, and during a hard stop the amp hit the fender. If anybody else is thinking of installing one of these I suggest you find another place to put the amp other than where the MOCO tells you to in the instructions.

Gee thanks. Going to see if the dealer will do anything for me tomorrow but I doubt they will. I just cant believe that the suspension moves that much. I did not even hear or feel it hit.

Unfortunately no I installed it, but it is installed in the correct location according to the instructions supplied with the amp

It's supposed to be installed on the lower cross brace above the regulator

Dealer didn't install it, nor did the dealer ride the bike and cause the dent. Dealer wont fix it. HD's instructions are not always the best way to go when you think through the possibilities of what might or might not happen. At least the dent is not so bad.
