My '07 is the same way. It's like they skimped on attention to detail there.

My 07 Sliverado looks good, Nothing that serious, it is a cast part, could be that they have several casts and your's just came from one that had flaws. Doesn't look very good, but shouldn't affect performance.

Re:Poor Finish- 1 Month, 1 Week ago  
I'm with BB on this. Hey,it's a motor. Would it be nice if it was pretty, yeah, but I'm more worried about the parts that are easily seen than the ones that aren't.

A nice day and a great road for me and my bike would have me forgetting about any paint flaws on my engine case.

My '07 has similar flaws, but I'm not too worried about it. Bike runs great and the rest of it looks goooood.

Re:Poor Finish- 1 Month ago  
Its a shot at the case from the right side, close up.
Yea it don't affect how it runs, but when you ride in the winter it sure does affect how easy it is to clean, it's like wiping sandpaper. Mine is a late 07 and I swear I got like what was left over in the parts bin. They grabbed a part and kept saying "That'll do!" I'll just be a PITA next time I buy a bike. MC

Experience is a tough way to learn ... because, you get the test first and the lesson afterwards.
