its true that they are in short supply in the uk. I ordered mine at the end of october. I have been given a build date of 1st March, so maybe its on its way now. I dont know how long it takes to get from the us to the uk by sea, does anyone have an idea?

RE: Wiating for Street Bob
I ordered my Bob from Dockgate20 in Southampton at the end of October. The plan was to take delivery in March - partially to get an '06 plate and partially to avoid the worst of winter. I got a call from the sales manager in late November to say my bike was halfway across the Atlantic. Initially, when he said this, I thought "b*gger! I don't want it right now!" but in the few minutes he was on the line I got so stoked about the idea I had to say "Great, man!". The next few weeks just kinda _crawled_ by but the guys at DG20 did a fantastic job at sorting out my new ride for collection on the solstice - I think she was still in the crate only 4 days earlier.
I got the bike fitted up with SEII's before I took delivery - the sound of the stock pipes was just too pitiful to be true. The high-flow filter and download* are due to go on next Friday when she gets the 1k service.
*or SERT - this forum has really got me thinking about this one. In my mind, a suitable anology would be the differences between renting and buying your house - renting is cheaper, but what you invest ultimately just vanishes... buy, and while the cost stings at first, it's yours to do what you want with - and who knows how your plans or circumstances might change in the future.

RE: Wiating for Street Bob
It seems that the V& H pipes are popular , but nobody seems to know when they will be ready if you want to save money and get a good sound TRY THE SE 11 slip on mufflers , the only trouble they stopped making them last year so you need to find some HD dealer that still has them in stock I brought mine from The Black Bear in Suffolk ÂŁ 250.00 including delivery of course when you fit these you will need and SE airfilter ( Or other free flowing air filter that fits and to remap your ignition which Hd dealers here seem to recommend the 2006 Softail down load NOT the Dyna down load .
Good Luck
