Default What is going on?

Does anyone know what is going on with the DYNA family? I work at a dealership and we are not able to get anymore dynas. We have a few Fat Bobs coming in and a CVO dyna, but through June we have no dynas coming. HD will not even let us order them. Anyone have any info?

Let the rumors begin...

Perhaps it's a first step to creating an artificial Harley shortage to get prices and demand back where they were over 10 years ago? I'm just sayin...

vote for the "create a harley shortage" theory[sm=WTFsgign.gif]

My area dealerships are chock full of everything!!

If someone who works for HD has no clue - that's pretty scary

He doesn't work for Harley, he works for a dealership. They are always clueless!

Just kidding Hawk! I couldn't let that go.

I was at capital city HD in Madison, WI a couple weeks ago and the guy I bought my bike from said they had only two or three dyna's left for the rest of the summer, so i guess there may be some truth to it, i dunno..............my vote is for the mock shortage theory!

I was thinking the shortage theory too, but why only the dyna's? Something is up?

I was half joking about that. But, if it's true, perhaps they are testing it with the dyna's to see if the strategy works. Or, maybe because Dyna's rule, they have to hold them back to force people to buy the other models?

Second thought, nah, that can't be it... [8D]
