OEM Fuel Tank Replacement Questions

[bflint]

Well my new fuel tank, with the wing badges and red trim stripes, was delivered today. Unfortunately, Partzilla pack all the parts in one box, which included the muffler. The tank has two nasty dents, probably due to the muffler’s mounting bracket finding its way through the packing material to the tank side. The muffler gasket was squished. Unbelievable! The box revealed some some rough handling by UPS. I am working with Partzilla to get replacement parts. Meanwhile, I will ride with my original tank, which is not that bad.

In case anyone is wondering, the fuel tank did not come with the warning labels! You have add the labels to your order.

Darn .. hate this .. now have to wait longer to ride your bike. Happened twice to me this summer when ordering car hood replacement for daughters car. 1st replacement was damaged by FedEx. 2nd one came dented from store house. Hope they get you a replacement tank asap.
