Harley Davidson HD Rusty Fenders on a HD Fatboy Screaming Eagle with factory custom paint job Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Hi Jon, 

I also have a 2005 Screaming Eagle Fatboy with the same problem as you. I would appreciate it if you would let me know if you were able to resolve the issue. If you did it would be a great help to me as I would like to fix my bike and preserve it. 

To the man who told Jon that he should be ashamed of himself for only riding the bike 5000 miles in 5 years:

Sir or ma'am, you are a blistering moron. A person invests $30,000 into a limited production motorcylce, clearly wants to keep it in as good of condition as they can (why woudn't anyone with even the slightest of brain), is upset that the manufacturer isn't helping them solve the problem and is still trying to figure out a resolution and you insult them and tell them they should be ashamed of themself. You should be ashamed of yourself for writing such a ridiculous thing and by judging from what you wrote, you deserve to be riding a pile of crap for a motorcycle. It's people like Jon and myself that deserve to be flying down the road on a screaming eagle ;). 

In ending, Harley should do a much better job with not only customer service and building better bikes, considering what consumers pay for them, but also with helping their customers fix issues and consiering the problem in our case wasn't caused by the consumer but by the manufacturers. 

I hope you got your bike fixed and if not, I wish good things to come for you in the future. 

Best wishes, 

Barry

Rust does not depend on the amount of miles used, but amount of time that has passed.

You have a 5-year old harley, not a 5000-mile old harley. I doubt harley has a factory corrosion warranty, especially on an accessory part.

You should really be ashamed to have a 5-year old harley with only 5000 miles. Like most mc owners, you should really spend more time riding and less time concerned with the ravages of time.
