Well hopefully by the time I'm ready to get my next bike they offer this program to other models.

WS6 Formula's post looks like where it must be at.

Anyone else get a flyer direct from Harley in the mail? Ours came yesterday, announcing this program. It included the same link and lack of information as in my opening post. The flyer talks about "revolution" in the ordering process.

Not too much of a revolution if it involves just Sportsters, handlebars, seats, grips, and paint ! Hopefully it will rapidly expand! I'd sure like to order out a Road Glide with different bars than what comes stock !

Auto dealers had this "revolution" at least 3 decades ago.
Hell, even longer that that.
You could order a car with the bolt-on air conditioner under the dash. LOL You'd be riding in style!



I sincerely hope no one is getting their hopes up too high here.

Hate to pop your lathering bubbles, but I suspect this to be barely north of a marketing campaign.

Of course you can always say: "yea, I custom ordered it..." I suppose.

Come see our new Fit Shop area that allows you to try different seats and bars and the introduction to the new Harley program called HD1. It let's you order a custom XL from the factory (Seats, pegs, 16 different paint schemes.... and more goodies!)
looks familiar.....................

You can already say that when you choose a color. LOL Seriously.
The bike before this one was ordered with Smokey Gold and Black, 04 Heritage.

I still have the fancy plaque the dealership gave me: "Custom Built for Ed _____". LOL

There's nothing to play.....Harley borrowed the Core Custom program.
Maybe Harley will build a Cross Roads clone soon......I'd buy one
