When will I be able to order an 09, I was told by one dealer that he gets his prices and can order in late July, I was told by another dealer that he will have 09's in his shop in June. I was going to order a POSE Road King and heard it will take up to 3 months or longer, so I would like to order as soon as I can. Thanks
Before you purchase your new bike, you might want to check out the 09 color chart (see below). The dealer meeting, I think, is the first week in July; nobody knows anything about new models before then, unless you work for Harley at the plant. I remember when I went to purchase my 07 FLHR, I could not get any info about the new models w/ colorsuntil after the second week in July. I had to wait until 1 October07 before the bike was delivered. Be patient. From the RUMORSthat fly around thisFORUM, you might want to wait until July to see what new models are coming out, it could be themysterious water cooled bike everyone has been requesting for years, but then, everyone here says 2010.

Thanks, looks like July before I order the bike. I am just a little excited, this will be my first Harley and I just can't wait to at least order it. Three months before it comes in, that might drive me nuts but at least I will know it is on the way.
Some dealers will take a deposit on the bike and then work out the final details after the July meeting. But they don't know for sure whats been discontinued or what the new models will be until the July meeting. Looks like the color information is out so you may be able to figure something from that.
I hope it don't take six months to get it, I am selling my old bike in sept and will be without until my Road King comes in, the dealer told me if I get my order in when he goes to the meeting it should be Oct sometime. Does that sound about right.
