A female friend of mine spent $23k on a brand new Harley Road-Glide w/all kinds of additional accessories.
The bike came through from the factory w/the brake pads installed backwards like that. She was a little upset, to say the least. The dealer replaced the pads, calipers, and rotors just to make her happy.
