I think I’m going to pass on it. Other than having back surgery two weeks ago, I’m happy with my 06 FLSTC and my 18 FLTRU.

nothing is free. they'll probably add a line item, dealer prep: $2700 to the deal.....

notice the fine print mentions 'when bought at msrp'. not a bad deal if they don't pad the other items, or hit you in the shorts on trade in (if you have one)

I just bought my 24 from Paris HD. No BS fees. No dealer prep. Straight MSRP plus $125 Doc fee.

I was just in there picking up parts and asked about it. It is not too good to be true. It is exactly as it reads. Everything is included, no special markups. They are trying to entice people to buy new bikes.

That's gotta be a fair chunk of change for the parts and labor.. Sales must be slow.

These parts cost the dealer half of what they would charge you if you bought them. Labor would be less as well because they wouldn't pad the bill.

A dealer makes $4K when they sell the bike at MSRP, so no tears shed for them. But it's good to see a dealer who isn't in total rip off mode.

A dealer couldn't keep the doors open making $4000.00 per bike!

The $4K is the difference between dealer cost and MSRP
