Default Look whats happened to my shiny trumpet

Noticed this Friday while moving my bike out of garage, not very pleased
Dealer fitted tax disc holder too close to hub cover, i didnt notice it and now have some deep scores on it.
Took it back to the dealer on Friday afternoon and fair play to them they said we'll order another one and swap it no problem.
Apparently its the whole assembly not just the cover ?

Did you buy that from the same place as Orose got his?

Technically illegal fitting it there anyway I believe.

Still, at least they're doing the decent thing.

For this exact reason!

I had to get the top yoke replaced after it was damaged during the first service. Only noticed on Friday that it had no pinch bolts holding it on!

Credit where it's due though, the dealer sent a mechanic out within the hour to fix it, but I nearly sh@t myself at the thought of what could have happened.
