2015 R3T rear inner fender paint/wiring

[Mike]

I bought one of the left over 2015 R3T's in late Sept of 2016 after I destroyed my 2005 Classic. It has been a great Rocket so far, just not riding enough yet. I was cleaning the rear inner fender when I saw the wiring harness hanging down and laying on the rear tire. I removed the bags and shocks and raised the bike so I could reclamp the wiring loom. I am still under warranty so I am going back to the dealer for a new harness. I was more surprised by the paint, or lack of, on the inside of the rear fender. Why would the factory have masked off the fender like this? Any other '15 R3T's like this?

Hello Mike, mine has a similar paint look but I thought it was a primer with rust protection.

Almost looks like it has been re-painted in that area ????

Jeez, gotta look under there if everything's still tight... Thanks for the photos.

Incredibly beautiful topside paint and that mess underneath. I don't get how they can do this. Now I'll be checking the underside of my fenders when I get new tires.
