Unfortunately for you, HD can't just modify that schedule because the dealer has the bike sold. They keep to the schedule and the dealer gets the bike when they asked to have it delivered when they ordered it.
That being said, the dealer could certainly do a dealer trade to get one. And they probably would have if you paid retail. Since you are getting a pretty good deal, the dealer probably just wants to sell from their stock.

It's not really a matter of normal. You previously said that this bike was one that the dealer had on order. When dealers do their ordering (usually bi-annually or quarterly), they schedule the months that they want the bikes delivered to the dealership. This allows HD to create a manufacturing schedule and forecasts.

Actually no. You could remove the eyebrow and flip to a bottom mount, if you are not too fussed about the headlight being about 3 - 4 mm lower than ideal it will work. You could of course use a dremel and modify the fitting on the brackets, but again for 3 - 4mm I haven't bothered.

Is that La Pera Bare Bones an exact fit or did you need to modify anything? seat looks great. I have the battery and electric box bags and its now a bit wider on mine legs so Im not as flat footed. Im thinking the Bare Bones might help lower it and offest the bags.
