Cheers for that info, does anyone know if they are different part numbers for the Amber flashing ? or do you just specify Amber when ordering ? Problem in the UK is that it is not legal to have red flashing indicators.

[Paul1]

They do flash red, I believe you can get amber. Our Canadian bikes came with amber which IMO is fairly stale. Placed my order last night for some smoked red ones. Beware a lot of places are already shutting down international orders. so don't wait to long.

Skyboy did you order from Lake Shore or somewhere else ? Have sent them an email but no response yet ! Just got a quote from UK dealer & they want equivalent of $700 US, maybe the ones they ship to their dealers in UK are lined with gold........

What did I tell ya all!      SHUT THE FACK UP ABOUT WHO WILL!!

From an email received today

LSHD1 TO STOP ALL INTERNATIONAL ORDERS
(OVERSEAS ORDERS)


We are sorry to announce that after 07/10/11
we will no longer be taking International
Orders for Overseas Sales as per H-D Factory's
New Policy effective August 1, 2011

[skboy]

Yes I ordered these from lake shore. I would suspect the amber ones use a different part number. I can't give you that because I have no clue what it is. $700! Gezz these guys are getting crazy. My quote in can $ was $270 bucks each, you can just imagine where I told them to go.

[Paul1]

I really don't think this post had anything to do with the email you received today.

Have bought up recently to beat the deadline as it affects us in Australia too. Bought all the CVO SG accessories I could think i'd ever want + a heap of jackets & shirts - all at 40 - 50% less than the stealers here.

I'll still be utilising the services of US based good folk to bring in my goodies from time to time.

This ban will stop nothing. It will force many to buy non genuine Harley items in the future - you loose HD!

MoCo restrict the sales, but take good money,
look at the the price-tag in the pic.

[resident Alien]

That price converts to around $60,000, the same advert on the HD USA website says it starts at $35,999 ..........it must have flown 1st class to Switzerland

[Grizzly]

$60,000.00!

And I thought prices were high in Canada.

Harley probably uses real gold leaf in the paint for the Swiss models.  Thus the slightly higher price.

Should we assume Europe has some severe import duties, or should we assume Harley and the distributor are just really really greedy?

Greedy yes, plus to many middle men taking a cut

[kraut]

who should be those middle men?

The distributor is 100% H-D owned.

Bad news. HD tightens the reins to protect (give monopoly to) overseas authorized dealers . US-based sellers (non-dealers and dealers alike) are no longer permitted to sell directly to end-customers outside USA (unless you are a US military or have an APO address).   

So far M&M Cyles and Zanotti have implemented this new policy.

Meaning European bike owners are gonna be charged triple US retail prices on all accessories from now on.

 

 

[Twolanerider]

Not new news.  Restriction was announced from Mother Harley back in late May or early June.

[kraut]

old story indeed. There are some helpfull hints in that old thread how to still order from US dealers
