Balz and his crew have always been top notch, but just wanted to report on my latest issue with an expanding fuel tank.
Jason in service took some pics of the areas of concern and contacted MV about a possible replacement. Several weeks later Jason calls and says they've approved a replacement. He then tells me that it may take a while to get the replacement, ok, great, other than the aesthetics I'm having no issues.
Shortly thereafter the new tank arrives and ex start talking about epoxy lining it. Jason had asked MV if they would cover it and they denied the lining. Ok, I'll have it done and Jason and I discuss the options and I decide to have it done at their normal lining place, due to shipping costs I decide to bring it to the facility as I travel there for work sometimes anyway.

Really nice people who really seem to take care and know what they're doing. Couple weeks later they call and the tank is ready for pickup. I go and get it and they then take the time to explains what they did and some new things they learned about the Brutale tanks.
Schedule my installation with Jason and of all the days, it's raining. I call them in the morning to let them know that I'm too much of a puss to ride in the rain. Later that day it clears up, I call them and ask if I can drop off the bike anyway, Ben and Jason say just come in and we'll swap it while you wait. :yo:
I could not believe how much the old tank had swelled until the new one was installed. I knew it swelled enough to crack the paint, however where the fuel filler is it had risen so much that the gas cap was flush with the tank instead of above it, easily 1/8" or more.
Anyway, I appreciate the stellar service from both MV and especially Moto Forza. :yo::yo::yo:
