First one schmirst one. Who cares? I am just grateful I was in the right place at the right time to do this deal. I pick mine up on Monday morning. I believe Copout and Gasrat are riding theirs this weekend.
Thanks so much for the radio software link Copout. That helps a lot. Seems like an easy thing to update.
Still waiting for a definitive answer on why the production of CVO Ultras has been halted. Of course I am going through all the paranoia of something wrong with the bikes or it could be something as logical as dealers screaming at ther factory not to produce any more until they sell their remaining 06 CVO Ultras. As I understand it the dealers are just recently getting the last of their 06 CVO ultras. Having both in the showroom at the same time where they are basically priced $1000 apart would force some deep discounting on the 06 models. And yes, I will post pics Monday night or Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday or whenever I tear my ass off the new bike.
I really doubt that the '07 CVO Ultra delay is due to some '06 models remaining.Most dealers in my area have plenty of '06 models of non-CVO bikes left and they are getting in lots of new non-CVO '07's daily. Some dealers are offering a $750 to $1000 discount (such as in the form of motorclothes gift card, "we pay the tax" offer etc.) on remaining '06's.
I was at a dealer last weekend and they still had 2 '05 Se Fatboys (brand new) and one '06 (new) Se FatBoy left. They were discounting all three at $2000 off MSRP plus still adding dealer prep and freight. I don' t know how much mark-up the SE Fatboys have but someone said on one post that the SE Ultras had a $5000 markup over dealer invoice. So even w/ a hefty discount the dealers are still making a profit on these bikes, probably more profit than on a stock ultra sold at MSRP.
Has anyone seen any new "06 SE ultras on their dealers showroom floor lately? I haven't. I was under the impression that all of the "06 SE Ultras had been sold and no more were available. The only "06 SE models I've seen at dealers are a few V-rods and a few FB's. Most dealers in the Dallas area are asking $2k over MSRP for the '07 Se Ultras and you have to get on a list. I luckily have a small local dealer that is selling me mine at MSRP + freight and prep.
