Hello,
I have a question. I just bought my first Harley, a 2009 Street Glide. I put 300 miles on it and brought it to the dealer to have some upgrades. The dealer called me later that day to tell me that one of their mechanics got into a accedent. They are willing to fix it and add the upgrades for free. The bat wing, front fender, engine guard, saddelbag and pipe on the right side got scratched up. So my question is, let them fix it or get a new bike ?

Welcome from Nevada!! I would just let them fix it...
Are they offering a new bike? Are they gonna stand behind any future problems with the bike if they should arise? I don't know if that (problems) could actually even happen but if given the choice I would opt for a new bike personally....
Good luck with your choice!
