That won't work unless you never take it in for service.

The first time you do you'll get it back with a new "550" medallion.

That would be one big mistake!

I'm not sure why you think that.  If the limited production has been loweredto 550 I would think you would want the correct medallion.

However, if it was the other way around and they suddenly decided to go from 550 to 900 I too would be pissed.

    I am somewhat confused why anyone would bitch about changing the badge.  Anyone who really cares about the "every five years anniversary" models should want their bike to appear to be more exclusive, not less.  Number 102 out of 550 sounds a lot more exclusive than number 102 out of 900.  Not that it will make any difference in value down the road, but for folks who get off on that stuff it might be important.

another way to look at it is having 1 badge of 550 or the only badge of 900. Some may prefer the later.

There's quite a few of the "900" badges...the first run had those.  They apparently just caught up with the error and the last batch that came out has the new badge on it.  So unless you conspire with the others that have 900 badges to have theirs replaced, you won't be the only one with a 900 badge...and like Jerry said, unless you're totally into the "every 5 year anniversary model" thing, it really doesn't matter...the only time that the Annie model is worth more than the others is when you buy it from the dealer.

Who cares about the badge? I'm still wondering why they can't sell 900 bikes of one model.... Maybe they should have tried it with a Street glide instead...

My beef isn't with having to change a badge if i had a wrong one. It was responding to an earlier comment and my statement that it would be "one big mistake" refered to the idea that some guy in a service dept would make the change on my bike without my approval or knowledge. Personally it doesn't matter one way or another to me.

On another note, I heard that the opposite was true and there was supposed to be 900 and 550 was a mistake. I guess we will all know if we see 551 of 550!

Saw one  at my dealership that came in yesterday.  Had a 550 badge on it.  By the way it is available to purchase

Well this may explain some of the confusion some of us have been having with the end #.  I'm fine getting my 169 of 900 "fixed" to 550 if that is the number.  I would also think that the dealer would have to ask to fix it, let alone have the mothership overnight the correct plat to them.  I will be damned if I will have my limited riding time limited even more because of a cosmetic fix being done, that was not requested by me.

          In the manufacturing world it is on them to correct any parts on their sales that is not correct. In this case the badges would be concidered faults advertisement. Otherwise people would tell everyone they were only going to make a 100, and then make 10,000.

LOL....

Well Guys I have some good info on the badge. I just got off the phone with District Manager of Field Operation from HD, apparently at york facility their was a misprint on a batch of bike badges that were sent out on some of the bikes.  They will be correcting this problem, you will need to notify your dealer and they will replace the 550 badge with 900 but they will need misprint badges to give you the correct one.

[inferno1976]

Ha!  I don't think the people with the 550 badges will be wanting to give up their mis-printed badges for the correct one!
