Talked to my dealer today....they bumped my ship date BACK a day to May 11th! So, they must be caught up now....word from the dealer is that the paint is fixed, so mine should have the new process...all I can do is wait now...having trouble sleeping 'cause I'm spending too much time on here getting TMI. Going to "roll my own" SE A/C...dealer said they would be glad to put one together for me with the K&N filter. So, chrome backplate, hardware, filter, and I'll let the cover "not fit" as it seems to be a non issue from what I've read here. Also getting the chrome inner primary, automatic chain tensioner, silver finned head bolt bridge...leaving the pipes stock, at least for now. Getting the standard download for the A/C. Going to order the short antenae. Can't wait...no HD's since '72, and that was a chopped panhead...metrics since. I'm READY...may see some of you guys in NC this fall.
