I'm a pretty patient guy. I can deal with alot of stuff that aint right and take it in stride. I let alot of stuff roll when it comes to crazy Harley stuff that the MC does to us.
I'm actually "used to" snapping my seat's rear fender nut off every 2000 miles because they are made of crap material. I just go to the dealer and say "hey Charlie I need another one of those fender nuts cause another one sheered off......
I buy another one, and a spare......and I pay and pay for this crap nut and never say a word to the MC.....
They are all still made from the same crap material as the very first one that sheered off....BUT...I just keep buying them...(no choice I guess)
Well last week when my last one sheered off it was at the begining of a 6 hour ride and I didnt notice it was shereed off until hours later (again)....
So I must have ridden about 2 tanks worth before I noticed the FREEKING DENT in my rear fender where this nut goes in the fender.....
Never before did I ever get a dent due to this happening but this time I noticed a thumb sized dent in my fender where this screw goes into this nut.
Of course I'm out of warrenty on a 2009 FLHX and I'm assuming that the MC is not going to cover this dent......I'm really pissed and just venting now before I compose myself and call the MC in the morning.
Has anyone else had this happen? If so how did you make out with the motor company?
THanks
