Default Any dealers actually HAVE demo seats?

Harley Davidson has a "seat demo" program. BUT good luck finding dealers who have demo seats. Was told by 2 different dealers (in Northwest Indiana) they don't want to put the money into them so they just have whats in stock. Sure they'll let me try it, but just "around town". I want to demo a seat with some miles! So aggravating! Anyone know of a dealer in the Chicagoland area with DEMO SEATS? I have a 2014 Ultra Classic and want to try the tallboy and hammock.

I would try Chi-Town HD in Tinley Park. They have a pretty large facility. Every time I've been there they have had very helpful staff.

You'd be best to contact the Dealer and ask them if they offer the program.

I haven't used them or even asked about them, but the last time I was in Richmond Harley Davidson, down here in Virginia, they had a whole wall of them. Not that helps you much, but it answers your question. Sorry,

Let that dealer know you will never be back. For anything. Let HD know how they treat customers and find a new dealer. Small town dealer I go to has all of them. On the wall. for you to try.

Quite a trek fm Chi-Town, but all four of the local dealers I frequent (one in IA, two in Omaha & 1-in Lincoln) have an ample stock of demo seats.

Same here. They also have several Windshields so you could test 'em out as well.

My local dealer has them, and put the put the seat on my TriGlide and let me use it for a week to see if I liked it.
