Hmmm. Makes you wonder who is the happiest when you do mods on your bike.

True Dat!  I don't think they realize the true power they wield when it comes to family harmony....

Welcome from Southern Indiana!

[megavolt17]

The estimated arrival date of 17 October was changed to 25 October - as of today (25 October) still no bike, and still no VIN number.  The dealer feels it will likely come next week but that's what they said on the 17th too.

I found out that I will be TDY to Alaska 11 November to mid December so if it is delayed more a couple more weeks the dealer will have to keep it until I return.

If patience is a virtue I guess I'm not too virtuous today.

Congrats on your new bike! I work for a local Harley shop and one of my customers turned me on to this cite. I own an 07 SERK and he just bought the 08- so as we got to talking he told me about this forum and all the good information that has helped him so far. As to your muffler question- you do not need a race tuner for the SE mufflers- however if you plan to do anything else motor wise down the road you will. In my honest opinion-the SE mufflers are a waste of money. They are only 3 decibals louder and gain minimal performance. Many of my customers who purchase these mufflers have been disappointed and feel they wasted money for the outcome they received. I understand you don't want too loud- I'll put some thought and do some looking into what kind of mufflers will give you a nice rumble without getting too obnoxious. Be in touch.

Welcome aboard Pitsquid.  I'm looking forward to your input.

3 November, still no word on my bike.  I don't think the dealer would ever get this many deposits, but imagine if you could get a $500 deposit from a hundred people.  $50,000 in the bank earning interest.  At 5% interest that would be $2,500 free money.

Now imagine if you were dishonest, you could discount bikes and take lots of orders with down payments.  Then you leave for some nice tropical location...

I go to Alaska for 5 weeks on 11 November.  Want to make bets that my bike arrives on 12 November?

On the dealers paper work my bike is scheduled for 16 Nov. The sales manager has told me from the beginning that they were running about 3 weeks behind and not to expect it until Dec. Nothing would make me happier than get a call in 2 weeks saying it was in. Every nice weather day that we get is one day I could be riding the thing. My wife has been on board with this thing the entire time. A good thing since I have traded her bike in on it. Then again she hasn't ridden it since Jun 06.

Hopefully yours will get in before your TDY. Best of Luck!

I'm about 15-20 minutes from Appalachian HD.  I used to be a little closer until they moved.  Come to think of it Seacoast HD in New Hampshire moved about 1.5 miles further from me when I used to live in New England.  Perhaps I need to clean my leathers?

I'd like to get together for a ride sometime.  Likely we'll have to wait until spring to do so.

I remember waiting on my banana...and waiting...and waiting, then she was born!!!  

I've been waiting on your duracell and wanting to see some pics. Next time you talk to your dealer tell them JR said Hurry Up!!!

Hey there from Syracuse ! I'm sorry for your frustration in the delay of your new cycle- and no one understands more than I do seeing as though I work for an HD dealer in sales. Production is more disorganized and backed up this year than in many, many years. I'm sure your dealer has no intention of jerking you around but all he can do is keep you updated to new planned ship date that HD gives to them. We had our entire December order of 35 bikes cancelled because they cannot make up production. If I were you, I would confirm that your bike did not get cancelled - our CVO orders have gone back and forth also and they're not giving dealers as many as they did last year- and just make sure your bike is still slated for build and ask them to lookup what status the bike is in and I can tell you what that means- scheduled, reserved, invoiced etc... The bike is completely worth the wait and hopefully you get a break here soon !! Let me know how you make out and if there's any way I can help out.

SPRING!!!!  No way, I'll have a couple thousand miles on mine before Spring!!!!  Still no word on new bike....hope it won't be too long, I would like to get a 1,000 miles on it before the snow sets in.
