Default A little vent or rant

So I ordered my new led Harley headlight from zanotti on march 26th and along the way I would get emails saying that it was on back order. And then it was on back order to April 12 then it became may 6th. Now Harley has removed the release date and just states on back order with no release date. From what I have been told from the motor company is that the japan earthquake has made it I possible to get important components for the light. Good old Harley

You know, there is probably a manufacturer in the US that would be perfectly capable of producing the components and would dearly love to have the contract to do so, even if only until Japan got going again.

But rather than make customers happy and throw some much needed work to the US market, they will just make you all wait.

Good marketing policy ain't it

Dealership here has at least one. Not sure the size. I know it doesn't help you but for other's maybe check around and see if there is someone else that might have one before obligating $$$ to one that isn't going to get it in for another 6 months or so...

Yeah mad in the USA with parts from japan. Some of the components in the led are imported from japan.
