Hopefully you'll be back in the saddle real soon.

Original lead time was 2-4 weeks, they said they'd seen it as long as 30 days.The HD website states 14 days. They were pretty confident I'd have my bike back under 30 days. We're now at 36 days since HD gave the go ahead, IF it arrives tomorrow it's still going to take a few days to install. And I have to get my bike back. So it's looking like 40 days which is too long IMO. There are obviously no 110 ci engines on the shelf, read into that what you want but suggests the 110 is over.

They are a fraction of the established retail flat rates. I am well versed in price matrixing and menu pricing. IF designed and marketed correctly it should increase your retail base.
I am going to jump out on this topic so as not to hijack this thread further.

Well if your bike isn't 1000% perfect call Cowboy Rob, he will tell you what you should do.
