How to locate a particular bike?

I am looking for a new (untitled) 2008 CVO Softail Springer 105th Anniversary Edition.

I have looked on the web as much as I could and still haven't found any. I feel sure there are some dealers that still have some in stock.

What is the best way to find one? I have spoken to a couple of local dealers, but they aren't interested in helping me find a bike that isn't in their inventory.

Why would you assume that there are still some that haven't been sold? It's already a couple model years old. They sold pretty well, I would not assume there's any left.

I have found a brand new one, but the dealer still wants the $25,490 MSRP...

Begin contacting progressively distant HD dealers by phone and email. One may be in the hands of a collector. Be patient, but make your own chances.

Best way?

If you want it badly enough, you'll find a way to summon the energy necessary for seemingly endless calls and emails--you'll make it happen. Or just make a deal with your dealer, who already has one you like, and you won't have to travel.
