Build your own bike option on web site?
I just got back into bikes last year and bought used.
Now I am *thinkin* of maybe adding another smaller bike to the mix.(maybe a FORTY-EIGHT)
Did the Harley website change a couple months back just before the 2019's were unveiled?
Seems like I could go in and "build my own bike" (or words to that effect) and price out all the different options.
Second, related question....if that option is available, how long does it typically take to get the bike you built?
90% of the bikes (it seems) that they stock here in NB are black.....and while black is nice, I don't want to build/buy a black bike.
Thanks !

The "build your own" option on the site to my knowledge was not for you to build and order it that way. It was for you to take to the dealer where they would take the bike, order all the part and then charge you so install them. I could be wrong, but I believe that is the way it worked. The website only provided you the cost of the bike with the cost of the parts.. NOT the cost of the dealer to put all said parts on and "build" it for you.
And I have not seen that option on the MoCo site since the 19's

At one time you could sit down and build the xl1200c and the street bob on the website, then make the deal with your dealership and the bike would come in from the factory costume made for you. But it was only on these bikes if i remember correctly. You could play with the other bikes to see what you liked but they had to be put together that way after you got the bike stock from the factory... i dont believe it was on the website last year ether.

But to restate.....Harley offered what they called the HD-1 program, under which you could order a Street Bob or a certain model of Sportster and choose options like wheels, bars, controls, custom paint etc. and have it built that way at the factory. You still had to place the order through a dealership though.
Looks like Harley has discontinued that program however.
