So I rush home from work to finally remove that accent piece that looks like a drunken toddler designed it. Well, the fishing line worked great, cut right through. Pulled the piece off and bam! I see this nice 3" long crease running down my tank! There are also 2 small dimples in the tank to align the front of the accent. From the pictures I've seen, nobody seems to have this problem. Did I get a lemon? Needless to say, I'm not a happy camper right now! Looks like the piece will be going back on now. Anyone else have this happen to them?

Sorry for the lack of pictures, can't send pics from my phone.

Ok, scratch that. I guess I can send pics from my phone.

I've got them too and they're normal. Either live with it or put the trim back on.

Im taking mine off & sending tank out to body shop to have tank graphics removed, i beleive they should be able to get rid of the dimples & 3in seam. I hope

 

[BuckeyeStryker]

Man that sucks. I was really expecting that crease to be a defect in the tank, that way I could take it back to my dealer to have some free work done!

 

[BuckeyeStryker]

Well, now that it's off I might as well black it out. I sort of feel obligated to do something to it now that it's off.:tongue:

 

[WOLFStryke]

When in doubt......Black it out

 

[BuckeyeStryker]

Makes sense to me...

Mt tank had the exact same things, but painter fixed all that stuff when he took decals off and painted tanks for me.

 

[BuckeyeStryker]

Painting would be an option but I just don't know if I have the coin to spend on it right now. Oh well, that one can wait.

 

[J4patrice]

Had the same on my tank, but painter fixed that.

 

[stryker29]

Yep! I have the same thing!

 

[deputystryker]

When in doubt......Black it out

No, when in doubt... chrome it out:nod:

Ok, I'll bite...I've been seeing this plasti dip stuff mentioned on here a few times but I thought it must have been a joke. Does this stuff really work? How durable is it? I've been thinking of going to the dark side on quite a few parts since my 2011reddish copper has a bike crush on the 2012 in same color Is this stuff worth using? And I'm talking about having my front fork tubes done. Surely this can't work for that. We gotta be talking powder coating there right?

 

[Strykeback]

The tubes are definitely a powder coat deal. PlastiDip is not a smooth finish. It's a rubber like spray that has a textured look. Most here have used it for just the plastic pieces. Anything that is subjected to racks or debris and metal I would powder coat.

Mine is exactly the same, but in blue. One day going to do a custom paint job, so I'll have them fix it as well. The chrome trucker cover, round, covers most of it, but my Low and Mean doesn't.
