RE: Duracell Sales
I think I've maybe seen one or two out on the road. They really could have picked a more neutral color scheme if they wanted to sell them. I know it's supposed to be unique, but I doubt that a majority of people are into that paint, and then if you repaint it, that kinda kills the whole anniversary model thing. Maybe it would have been better if they'd have just done the bronze, instead of two tone.

RE: Duracell Sales
I see a few on the streets, but most I see are on the dealer's floor. Saw a Wide glide in a small town yesterday. The only 105 ann. bikes I like is the ultra and CVO models. The CVO models because of the different shade of copper. to me the Ultra color combo looks good. Agree different models should have different color scheme for uniquness.
As expected still partial to the 95th anniversary color scheme, but only on some models. And not because of value, because not much there, but the color suits my eye. To each his own.

maybe since most dealers have plenty they should have been painted according to Henry Ford, you can have any color you want as long as it is BLACK !!!!
I've seen few on the roads but every shop I stop in has plenty.

Zylstra's in Ames, IA had at least 8 of them out of probably 20 bikes on their main showroom - most likely they have plenty in their warehouse if they had that many on the main showroom floor. Geez I wonder why sales are down with those pretty colors !

Agreed!
I'll betcha they could come out with a 106 Anniversary model in Vivid Black and sell the Shiite out of them.

RE: Duracell Sales
Every year the dealers here have leftovers of some models and colors. They will hold the line on price as long as they can, but in July they have a red tag sale and mark all bikes a little under msrp....they sell the hell out of the leftovers and they are all gone in a week or two. I would expect most of the 2008 leftovers this year will be the 105th...but they will sell all of them soon.
