To the OP, no disrespect intended, but either you are clueless as to what you're talking about, or your brother's definitely pulling your chain. How could Harley ever warranty a bike that they didn't assemble themselves? And the above poster is correct, there were no Street Glides or Street Bobs in '03.

I had a couple of friends buy HD's thru the Bagram Afghanistan AAFES/PX while deployed to Afghanistan. They saved about $2,500. They deliver the bike at no extra cost to an HD dealership near your stateside base.

Depends on where you are. Some bases actually have a bike or two sitting there to look at. Sounds crazy I know...I have always known exactly what I wanted before I left and just ordered when I was gone. I bought a 06 Fatboy and a10 Streetglide that way. Got a heck of a deal both times...I also bought a Fatboy back in 97 from Military sales in Germany. Took two weeks to get. At the time, you couldn't get a new Fatboy stateside without a wait...
Just curious, talked to dealers back home, and I know that I could get the 13 street bob when I return in November from factory with the 103 for the price if it came with the 96 with my discount.

That's about what I saved on my 10 SG when I was in Iraq...

Dealers will swear they cant do anything for you in a military area, which is B/s

I've looked into the program, I think its encs.... Anyway, I've gotten quotes from them as far as buying from them, and the only real perk to buying from them is a 6% drop on the price.
What was your experience with buying while deployed, I like to have eyes on something before I buy it.

Thats exactly where I got mine, saved about the same amount. Pensacola HD held mine for almost two months before I got home. I called about a week before I got back and they had it already to go for me. Its a pretty good deal. Also, if you are planning on financing, checkout Andrews FCU, great APR (assuming you have good credit)!

You can order it with a 103 for an extra 350.00 through the HD1 custom program. I bet you can do that through AAFES too...If you are dealing with Adamec, be REAL careful...They are a AT LEAST MSRP dealer (or they used to be, been a while since I have walked in there)...They once told me that they would not discuss price until I COMMITTED to buy. Wanted me to sign something saying so...Insane...
