Just went by the dealer to pick up some parts when my uncle (who is a salesman there), catches me on the way back to parts. Says that they are having issues with the green paint and my bike may not arrive until January at the earliest! And it was supposed to be here the 17th. . He said they didn't specify what kind of issues, just paint issues. Said they were possibly goin to hold the other colors as well to check them too. Was really looking forward to some good fall riding on the new ride... oh well

Disapointing news and un-needed!

[slotbike]

I have the document.   I just got back from my dealer and was told the news.  The other colors are not being with held, just that the CVO bikes are 5 to 7 days behind schedule. The document says that there is a paint supply delay (Kryptonite) and that all phase one and phase two for Kryptonite bikes, if not changed to another color. will be filled in Phase four (January 2011). Any Phase three orders for Kryptonite bikes "MUST" be changed!

THIS F'N SUCKS!!!!!!!!

[slotbike]

Hey Wise....  Your bike and mine were due about the same day.  For those of us that wait (if they do produce the Kryptonite bikes at all) there will be very few of them, I think! Most people will change the color and those ordered in Phase 3 have no choice.  It looks as though HD will not accept any orders for Kryptonite bikes after the initial Phase 1 and 2 orders.

That's one good way to look at it i guess. We might have the rarest color combo of 2011. Glad i put my deposit down When i did, there was a Guy that came in the dealer about 30 mins after i left to put $ on the first green one.  Still sucks having to wait.  Maybe HD will get their crap together and get this taken care of a little sooner than expected.

According to a source, there were only about 5 green bikes to start. These were the ones you see for shows, press, etc.  As we know, the colors were produced in batches. No greens for CA for phase 3. I didn't expect anywhere else would have any either. Not to say there isn't any out there. I bet the green ones were never started, but blamed the paint issues due to production delays......

I have deposits at 4 different stores to increase my chance of getting one.. I don't expect anything till after new years 2011.....

  These are very bad news!!!!

Can someone post this document.......PLEASE![/color]

Even if I placed my order very early( beginning of August), I like to know in which phase my order was placed at the MoCO by my dealer!!

The wait is one thing, but there is hope that  MoCo is now aware of the paint problem, so we get a bike WITHOUT paint problems!!!
I really expect a flawless product for this price. If they need the time to improve it........I will wait patiently.

KRYPTONITE ROCKS !!!!

Wonder what this means for the Kryptonite bikes destined for overseas?? I was number 2 in Oz for this colour - we'll just have to wait & see I guess.

It is not the problem with the paint it is the supplier.  Just my F'N luck.....

Good luck with that one.  You can't even buy a flawless $100K Mercedes.  Best lower your expectations a little, or you'll never buy anything.

Not good news for sure, mine was scheduled to ship on Sept 14th.

[wiseasp]

I called my dealer today and he said my bike was moved up to be shipped out the 10th??  WTF???  I called another dealer and his is showing his is shipping out the 8th???  I told them about the letter and they said they both spoke to their Harley Rep and they said that they are still shipping out.  I HAVE NO F'N CLUE WHAT IS GOING ON!!!   BOTH dealers said that the computer is going to be updated on Tuesday since it is a holiday on Monday and both are going to call me when it up dates.  The dealer I have my deposit with said his Harley Rep told them that HD did make a few of the green before they ran out of the paint and ran into this supply problem.  I will keep you guys posted.... 

Happy F'n weekend!!!!

FWIW

My Black & Crimson SESG2 was scheduled to be delivered July 19th.
Then the letter came out saying the MoCo was having issues.
My scooter was built on Aug 18
Arrived at the dealership Aug 25

The MoCo did not explain what the hold up was other than supplier issues.

Hope your scooter arrives early like they're saying now!
