Default Backordered parts?

Anybody who works at a dealer know how long it take for backordered parts to come in from Harley Davidson? I have been waiting on a Screamin Eagle 42mm carb for a while!

I would imagine it would depend on the part and how much demand there is...

Call around to other dealers to see if they have one in stock. There is a thread on here about the Race Tuner being back ordered. My dealer got 13 of them in yesterday even though they weren't suppose to be in til April.

Mark at mandmcycles.com mentioned to me that HD recently moved one of their major parts warehouses and are just now catching up on shipping. Hopefully your carb will soon be on the way.

Definitely look at other sources than the ordering dealer. Zanotti's, M&M, others seem to have an ever changing inventory available to them.

Your parts guy should be able to get a date from his parts system. They usualy say "backordered until (date)".
