Wrong-I dont hate the paint- I just dont think the quality of application on the frame is as good as it could be or should be....theres a difference...neither do I hate the mudguards- I'd just have preferred them in metal- again there is a difference.
The short answer is that I didnt buy it for the detailing but for a number of other reasons to do with reliability mostly.
I like the looks of it a lot,dont get me wrong, but I dont want to be blind to where it could be better-in the UK this machine is competeing agsinst the sportster- in that market you need to benchmark your product against HD-especially as the TBA costs more here than the base model 883-lots of potential buyere wont get past an appreciation of the cosmetics-they'll never get to find out just how good the TBA alternative is.
