Default RE: New King and leather bag question

ORIGINAL: Rarebare

OK. I wentto my sales guy and he knew right away what I was talking about. I brought in the bag and he replaced it with another bag from another bike on the floor (now I feel for the next guy).

We spoke to one of the parts managers and apparently HD has been denying replacements lately saying that the loose leather is "normal" and is supposed to stretch. If that were the case then the bags would all be like that, not having one tight and on loose. Anyway, I'm glad I've got a great salesperson. Made me feel good about dropping another hundred on chrome today

Kudos to Wild Fire HD in Villa Park, IL. Especially Rick C.[sm=icon_cheers.gif]

I'll have to update my sig pic soon.
yes Mr. H-D Manager, My check was supposed to bounce. They all do that, that's the way there written.

It is definitely not going to correct itself, it will only get worse. Take it back and get a replacement.
