The letter even mentioned the bikes due in Sept. are now due in Oct.  Ones due in Oct. will be Nov. Appears the whole line is delayed.

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!!!! 

I sure hope thats the case with mine also! This sucks not knowing whats goin on. Goin back to the dealer and talking to my uncle to see if he has any more insight on the matter tomorrow.

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 !!!!

Your bike ordered will not be till phase 4. (if your dealer stays on top of the orders) Many dealers can't even tell what phase they are now  ... truthe is, the dealer cannot order green in first 3  phase. HDKid is correct with the bad news. Sit back, relax and it'll be worth the wait..

I have a copy of the letter. I will post when I get home.

Wise, I have the letter also....as lucky said, no green bikes until phase 4 (January 2011) All phase 3 green orders must be changed to another color. Only those phase 1 and 2 kryptonite bikes that are "NOT" changed to another color, will be made........so the letter says!

Here it is...

Looks like if the dealer does not change the color for Phase 3, Harley will just send them either the Crimson/Black or Black/Orange.  Will know more on Tuesday.  Now I wonder if they will make more then they originally expected of the crimson bike and the orange bike.

[slotbike]

Wise....YES, they will definitely make more Black/crimson and Black/orange for the simple fact that many dealers and customers will not want to wait 6 months to get their Kryptonite bikes so they will change the color to one of the other 3 available. Also, "all" the phase 3 Kryptonite bikes "must" be changed. All this means fewer Kryptonite bikes  

[bbrown]

wow thanks for sharing. Does anyone know the pruduction numbers for each color?

You are right.  I told my dealer today to look for a orange and black one for me NOW!!!  After reading this letter and thinking about it, I am going to call him tomorrow and tell them I am just going to wait until next year for the Kryptonite.  I have been waiting since freakin April, another 4 or 5 months is nothing...

Well usually they make about 3500 bikes, that would be about 875 to 900 of each color.  What is interesting, is in the letter, Harley will change the color to only the crimson or the orange, no Autumn Haze.  I wonder if that color is already done.

If that is truly the bike you want it will be well worth the wait. I waited nine months for my because I fell in love w/it when I first saw the brochure and I'm so glad I waited.

I think the response to the Autumn Haze was just "Ho Hum", so that is probably the reason they will change phase 3 to the black/crimson or black/orange!

You might be right.  I sat on a Autumn Haze one today at the dealer and it looked okay.  NOTHING to write home about.

Fired00d,

You are right.  When I first saw the Green I was taken back.  The Green with the black engine is just BAD A$$.  The wait continues.  My birthday is at the end of January, maybe it will be in by then....
