All dealers have received a letter from HD telling them about the discontinued models. They have to do this so no one is disapointed when they place an order for an o8 that does not exist.

Don't know where you have been but it is common for the Motor Co. to tell dealers which models are going away. The dealers have to order their first allotment of 08 bikes well before the 07 model run is over. They cannot sell 08 bike that won't be around so they are told. A simple concept...if you don't believe it, just wait until mid July when the dealers meeting takes place and the Motor Co. updates their website. Don't you find it odd that dealers all over the country are saying the same thing? Conspericy?

[align=left]It’s going to feel like something is missing when the[/align][align=left]new 2008 motorcycles arrive, because a few of[/align][align=left]them won’t be joining us for the new model year. There[/align][align=left]will be models gone from every family this time, and[/align][align=left]a few are quite a surprise. In the Sportster line, we will[/align][align=left]not see the flat track inspired XL883R returning for[/align][align=left]2008, and in the V-Rod family the Street Rod will be[/align][align=left]gone. The Electra-Glide family will be affected[/align][align=left]as well as the FLHRS Road King Custom.[/align][align=left]The biggest news, however, comes from the Dyna and[/align][align=left]Softail groups. For the first time in nearly thirty years,[/align][align=left]the FXDWG Dyna Wide Glide will not make it to the[/align][align=left]showroom floor. The Softails got hit the hardest as three models will not be returning, including the FXSTD Deuce,[/align][align=left]FXST Softail Standard, and the FLSTSC Springer Classic.[/align][align=left]That’s right, no more Springer in the line up at[/align][align=left]all. Don’t be sad though, as I still have a few left of all of[/align][align=left]these models for 2007. Also, as with every year, I am[/align][align=left]sure that there will be something new to tempt your soul![/align][align=left][/align][align=left]John Burkett[/align][align=left]Sales Manager Denney’s Harley Davidson [/align][align=left][/align][align=left]http://www.denneysharleydavidson.com...2I28JAMQ1345R0[/align][align=left][/align][align=left]or [/align][align=left][/align][align=left][/align][align=left]http://www.denneysharleydavidson.com...inanceapp2.asp[/align][align=left][/align]

What I do know is that I'm not in a position to say whether or not anything is written in stone...and until HD themselves release the 2008 model line, I take every single thing I read with a grain of salt.

RE: The LAST Deuce??
The individual dealer could have a policy to keep it quite. Perhaps they don't presell 08 models. Perhaps the owner is keeping it from the sales team. Don't know why they would as it seems like a stupid policy. But, there are several different dealers who are saying the same thing and the fact that the color chart has them removed makes me believe it. This has been the normal mode for Harley.
Honestly, I really don't care as I was not in the market for one of these models anyway. I just find it fun to discuss and speculate on the new stuff. I am about 95% sure my next bike will be a Streetglide anyway.

Don't know where I've been??? I've been posting in these threads since they started a month and a half ago. And for the first time, somebody is giving us something more than just a .jpg that says models are discontinued. Ok...so Denny's HD is saying this....and it may very well be the case. But then that should be the case at every dealer...and I've been to three different dealers recently, and not one of them claims any of this to be true..so what gives? Are you saying that some dealers have this info, but some don't??? I went to my local dealer this past week, and my friend who's a salesman there, said he'll know more after the dealer show. I don't think he has any reason to make that up, or hide anything...maybe he does...don't know.
What I do know is that I'm not in a position to say whether or not anything is written in stone...and until HD themselves release the 2008 model line, I take every single thing I read with a grain of salt.
