Most of that scratch is in the clear coat anyway.
And the PO seems to have played volleyball with the package.
Used to get badly packed things at work. You would be shocked how many IT people think foam peanuts are good for electronics that get hot.

He's stirring sh!t.
By the way, both the PO and UPS will not deliver a package that is leaking flammable liquid through the box, as that one clearly had. Which is probably why they deemed "undeliverable". Which is why they ask you if there is anything flammable, breakable, perishable or potentially hazardous when you attempt to ship it...Comment

Correct Josh. When I shipped that 850 rear end to OZ, I sprayed it all down with carb cleaner and wiped it down well so there wouldnt be any oil leakage or such..It made it with no hassles.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

And, if you notice, I was quoting someone else.
I can live with a little scratch that was shown to me BEFORE it was sent.
Should I cry like a little baby because it was lost for three weeks?
Should I cry and blame the shipper if I dropped it on something myself and damaged it?
Should I cry and blame the shipper for not packing it well enough?
Should I cry and demand my money back on a public forum?
Hell no to all of those questions.
However, when someone, who shall remain nameless, did two or three of these things recently here on this forum,
the reactions were QUITE DIFFERENT from the same people that replied to this one.
Yes, I was making a point and poking fun! Duh!
Did I get ripped off? NO!

Ummmmm, no. I thought the way everything looked and not much use, I would risk it and not replace it. I may regret it down the track if it leaks, but I have faith in these old things. If I have to pull it apart, good excuse to improve the looks with a bit of polishing.
