Your dealer is your best bet. I looked at the badge and it is further out of whack than I would accept. You can bend the fender no problem but I would get that attended to as well by the dealer. Who is your dealer?
That's a telling statement, Kevin.
Dan D'Arcy, Allpower Powersports, Granby Mass. - the only dealer anywhere nearby with the B5 I wanted. This is the super-nice guy who met me halfway with the bike.
As I mentioned, the problem is that they're 5 highway hours away from me (more like 6-1/2 hours at "break-in" speeds on back roads
), so I can't just cruise across town and drop it off. I have notified him of both of these issues, but it's a holiday weekend so I don't expect any response for another day or two...
There are closer dealers (closest is 2 hours away), but I have no relationship with them, as they didn't have and couldn't get the bike I wanted.
Is there any history of or precedent for "you guys" dealing directly with an owner on these issues, without getting a dealer involved? I want the bike to be right, but the personal time and cost of getting the bike to and from the dealer may not be worth it...
