2018 Softail Deluxe Problems
I was visiting a retailer in California and asked about the new Softail Deluxe and was told by the salesman there were none of the floor and they weren't expecting another one for several weeks due to a "manufacturing problem."
Has anyone else heard this? Or...is there a link to a forum post I missed?

When I was looking at my Lowrider my local dealers only had 1 each in stock. Both told me it'd be a month before they got another. Might be a part that's hard for them to get. It's possible if they get any parts from Mexico around where the earthquake hit.

That's only on the dressers. I think they are purposely reducing production.

Lots and lots and lots of data oaths over in the M8 Touring section. Tranny old is getting transferred to the primary at higher RPMs.
But ...... it is beginning to appear that it may be something to do with the hydraulic clutch set up on those bikes. Don't want to say for sure as I really don't know.
But the M8 Softails all have a cable clutch, so if that is the issue, then we shouldn't be affected.
