Steve this is the same run around my Local service manager has given me.He states nothing on his end can be done unless Honda tells him to do so.Honda tells me I do not know how to clean my bike right.I knew from the get go Honda would do nothing and all the bitchin here has proved me right.One has to accept the fact they will have to paint there bike to make it right and if you want Honda to do that it's lawyer time.Don't know if I want the stress of all that and will do my own paint job one of these winters when I get sick of polishing this paint.Good luck getting something done as after 4 trips to my dealer and many phone calls with no one giving a damn I am done.Lifes to short
