I really have no business posting this as I have no tangible "proof".  But I DO know, for certain (I happen to have friends in low places), that there WILL be a H-D "Chopper" for 2006.  I'm afriad to say too much because I don't want to get anyone in trouble... but it's true.  Suprising it took so long for them to jump on the silly chopper craze bandwagon.   [smiley=beerchug.gif]  Maybe someone has some tangible information about it?

Better late than never. I just hope they do it right from the beginning and the bike is ready to rock and roll off the floor. Look forward to what they have come up with and hope it doesn't have a radiatior hanging off of it. I love the V-rod but a chopper with a radiator is just not right.

[Dr. Evil]

I can say this...  It's supposed to be "Wide Glide based".  So unless there's a total revamping, which my "friend" would have mentioned... there shouldn't be a radiator.  [smiley=beerchug.gif]

King 103, The dealership that is closest to where we live also sells the thundermountaincustoms http://www.colonialharley.com/other_vehicle_inventory.asp?sid=08051264X3K7K2005J11I26I22JAMQ1093R0  There are actually an awful lot of bike shops/dealers in the very small population area we live in.  They are pretty to look at, but I don't want to ride them.  They have no luggage capacity and look very uncomfortable.  Now, I was intrigued by the seat hight. A bike I could easily flatfoot from.  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

"I find it highly unlikely that HD finance would finance them."
it really doesn't

[ccr]

Colonial HD claims that the bikes are harleys. Like King103 says, they finance them, warranty them, service them, everything.  They say they are softail standards just on a different frame, and of course an enormous amount of eye candy with the chrome and paint etc. They are not all that expensive either. I think they are only made to look good, not made to ride.  But I would never deny anyone the right to spend their money as they like.  I just like mine better.  That's all.   [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

" they already have one out. my dealer has them in stock.they go for around 30,000 http://www.thundermountaincustoms.com/index.html these bikes are sanctioned by hd. they use hd parts, and hd financing, and are availible at the hd dealer. they even come with the cvo 103.

as i understand it, thundermountain has an agreement with HD that allows them to sell custom bikes titled as HD bikes. i personaly find it misleading by thundermountain. if it was truley a factory bike all dealers would have them on the floor.
