I've already started the eBay hunt.. I wanted to avoid this method because it turns you into an obsessed lunatic.

Your service manager is in the best position to look into this for you and advise of any next steps.

BTW, that is a great looking bike!

Thanks for shedding some light for me. My car only has 1100 miles. My service manager told me to call Ford and B**** but that's not my style. I figured ANY 2014 vehicle's paint should withstand a single bug for a couple hours during the day. Especially my built ford tough Mustang.. (Maybe that slogan only applies to the trucks) None of the other 25 I killed that day left so much as a mark.. My logic as a consumer just has me disappointed in the way I was dismissed so apathetically. Up until this week I've had zero buyer's remorse but now I wish I would've gotten black..

ps.. thanks for the gixxer love!

Anybody pulled a mirror cover off before?.. I can't find it in the service manual and it feels like they just pop off but I'm close to breaking this thing..
