Its more than just that small chip you see in the picture. The paint is pealing away from the fender at the crease and on the back of the fender.

Agreed - In '03 I loaded my new EGlide into a traile and took it to Daytona. When I got there i found my leather jacket hanging above the front fender fell off the rack and the end of the wood hanger left a dentin the top of my fender. To this day i see that dent everyt time I walk up on the bike. I can't remember a time when anybody pointed it out to me....

I see a paint chip, but don't see a dent or bend. If you are referring to the diagonal crease down the side, it's supposed to be like that--check out the other side.

I'd be more pissed off about living in Illinois.
