delivery was december 1st now Jan 5th...is there a production slow down or problems?

[naitram]

delays on CVO delivery dates are common

[JCZ]

That's because they're in such great demand.

Holidays probably also has something to do with it.  They've cut back production considerably from last years numbers.  This is the way it was about five years ago when we were all waiting for our new SEEGs.

As we've seen with my Spiced Rum, and my dealership has seen this now with several bikes, the MoCo is reporting delays, but schedule is being kept. When mine showed a delay for 3 weeks, I prepared for the worse... turned out it was on the truck none the less. Have your dealer check the load report for the bike. Also check a work day or two after the initial ship date and see if a VIN shows up. That's what we did.
Dealer also had a bike show up with a one month delay that was in the back being prepped at the time.

mine has an off line date of Jan 8th.... I don't mind waiting a while.. still will have snow on the ground in feb.... and I also have to find that money tree too....

My Spiced Rum came in last week to the dealer, on time.  Too bad we're getting snow tonight, so no riding until spring.  Sauk Prairie HD in WI is one of the top dealers in the country and they only got 2 Spiced Rum and are having trouble locating additional ones for customers that want one.

There's a couple sitting in Sacramento that are unspoken for.

Not all dealers have one sitting on the floor.  I've only seen one dealer around here that has had one sitting on the floor.  It's a Tequila Sunrise and they moved it down to their sister dealership in hopes of selling it.  The only SESGs they've moved is the Spiced Rum....   go figure.  We've got some big dealerships around here and you'll find Fat Bobs and Convertibles, and maybe an occasional SEUC, but it's rare that you'll find an SESG sitting on the floor.

Guess I'd suggest the Fly N Ride they do have the capability to locate one as well?

Dealers arent loyal to me so I treat them the same way. Went 110 miles and got mine,

But I have flown to Florida to buy a sports car and drive it home. I know aome folks dont like to get too far from home.

Oh and the number 1 selling color in the Midwest is Tequila Sunrise not too many Drunken Sailors this far from the Coast?

Perhaps it is a coastal thing... I waited over 2 months... no dealer loyalty, just every dealer I could reach, if they had a Spiced Rum coming, already had a deposit... left my name plenty of places... no calls... got offered several Tequilas.. this Drunken Sailor is now ready for coast to coast haulin'!

my blue came in 30 days early, (10 days ago) and  the same  day savanna GA.hd. , called me  and  said they had me  a blue one  also, cause  i had  my name in there too, THEY ALSO TOLD ME THEY HAD ALL  THREE COLORS THERE, AT  THE  SAME TIME............GOOD LUCK

[JCZ]

I sent out quite a number of emails to dealerships.  Ended up driving 200 miles for it and it was worth every mile of it.  Also made for a nice ride home, too.

Jon bought his SEUC at the same dealership...same deal and I documented that ride home.....   http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=41030.0

I know a number of members on this board have traveled several states away.  Ernie (here in Cali) bought a bike in New Jersey.....Andy (here in Cali) bought a bike on the east coast.  For the right deal....you're limiting yourself if you're not willing to travel or have it shipped.
