Worth a phone call if you ask me.....
Ughhhhh!!!!!
Ughhhhh!!!!!
Purchased my new 2011 Wide Glide last Saturday. Getting Roland Sands breather, V&H 2 into 2 Big Radius, back LED break light, new levers and front turn signal relocation done. Was anticipating getting it at the end of this week. I just got a call from the shop and they told my the pipes I ordered are on back order for a couple weeks!!! I do see Dennis Kirk has 10 in stock. I wonder if my dealer would ever consider ordering them from there or if they have to order from the manufacturer?

Agreed! Just make sure you call Dennis Kirk and have someone put the hands on a set before you do this, just because there web site say they have them doesn't really mean the have them in on hand, they might have them on order or there distributor says they have them.....sometimes the middle man has to wait for something they have!

I was just mentally prepared to get my new bike this Friday and already scheduled a nice ride with the fellas. I just hate to wait 2 more weeks when I wasn't mentally prepared for it to take that long. This bike is all I can think about all day and night....ha!

are you kidding? tell them to do all the work except the pipes and then take it back once the pipes come in. drop it off at night and pick it up the next afternoon.
personally there is no way i would wait another 2 weeks after already waiting for 1
week..... i dont know how you guys do it i bought my WG last saturday morning and
rode it home, if i would have had to wait a week i would freak out..

What I don't want to do it get the bike, ride it, get the pipes, put them on, take the bike back to get Dyno'd, etc. I want the bike to be all set up and ready to go when it leaves the dealership. I am all about doing my own labor on my bike but I've got 3 young ones and it's hard to find the time with my schedule so I didn't have a problem adding a couple hundred bucks labor to my financing for the dealership to have it all ready. Just sucks that V&H has them on back order but Dennis Kirk has them in stock.

That sucks, I had a similar situation, same thing with the pipes. I eneded up ordering mine from Dennis Kirk and bringing them in and had them on in a few days. I would call the sales rep and tell him your're situation and what you want to do, if there good guys they'll work it out.. hopefully

Thanks for the compliment, Have to get some new pics up, I added a lot to bike over last few months. I would think the check would be close to Dennis Kirks price , they usually are lower even with the dealers typical 20% discount. If Dennis Kirk doesn't have them you can get them from Direct Harley parts, about $30 cheaper than Kirks price I think..
