I too have a 2010 Harley Road King Classic that is now two months old with about 6,000 kilometers on it. I love this bike and it is THE Harley I wanted to own.
The problem I have is because the chrome emblem on the lid of the leather bags is held on by two rivets each and the ends of these rivets are not covered or protected, every time you open or close the lids these fairly sharp rivets have now cause severe scratching on the sides of the bags where the lid covers them. Although these scratches cannot be seen unless you have the lid up, nonetheless, it is I believe a Harley oversight with such a simple fix like putting rubber caps over these rivet ends. After all, in Canada we're paying almost $30,000. for this bike.
Has anyone noticed a similar problem? Has anyone contacted Harley about this? Has anyone been able to rectify this problem. I would like to find a solution to this before these rivets make their way right through the leather.
I would like to email Harley about this but of course they do not receive emails so I must have to use snail mail.
Its a small problem but truly disappointing for such a fine machine.
