Harley Factory Custom
I read recently (I think somewhere on this forum) that Harley was now going to offer the option of ordering your new bike with whatever option you want on it. Similar to the way you can order a car with different trim packages, wheels or engine. I am interested in buying my first Harley, a 2011 Road King Classic. But I am not a fan of the leather bags or white walled tires and would like the hard bags and regular tires. Also, as a shorter rider, I'd like to swap out the standard windshield for a shorter one, and perhaps a "Reach" seat to make it easier to flat foot the bike. And I would appreciate not having to take delivery of a bike with the standards parts on it only to have to buy the shorter windshield and seat, and have to keep the OEM parts in my basement to gather dust.
The problem is that although I did see this option on the Harley website from a link in the original post, I can't seem to find it again by going directly to the Harley website.
Anyone have the link of instructions on how to access this option on the Harley website?
Thanks,
Mike

first off, the program doesn't start until early feb (4th i believe) so you won't find a whole lot of info on it yet.... here's the website:
factorycustomization
next, why are you looking at a road king classic when you don't like any of the things that make it 'classic'? just go with the road king standard and add what you want instead of completely replacing them? unless its the 103" engine that you're after..... and even that is doable. just not from the factory.

At the International Motorcycle Show in Novi, MI the HD salesman said you'll be able to order seat, bars, windscreen and it will be installed at the factory at 33% off the list item price. The bike builder program is the same but with chrome parts. Some one else said it will only be available on the Sportster to start.

ultimately, the decision is yours, and as long as you're happy, that's all that counts. either way, you will end up with a nice ride.
