Detachable rear seat back, chrome passenger running boards, moved the rear (replaced) pegs to the crash bar with new 360 degree highway pegs mounts, 1K service and a couple of bandanas. Got 20% off a couple helmets and gloves (fingerless of course).

All on the last selling day of May, 2008.

I got a $500 cash kick back from the salesman. His story was that he was one sale away from getting a huge bonus for the quarter. He called me out of the blue one day and made me the offer if I would pay for bike that day. Five hundred bucks is five hundred bucks so I took off from work a little early and went and paid for it. I was going to buy it anyway just three or four weeks down the road. One month later he called me and I went and got my cash from him.

I remember the OLD days...my Dad bought a new 1972 Ford Torino and got a 19" colored TV with the sale.
I bought a used 2000 Fatboy from Rossmeyer Harley in Daytona (before the old man died)...I got two free t-shirts....then a box of cookies in the mail.
2 T-shirts probably cost them nothing....but put a lasting image on me.
Good customer relations...
I go there every Sunday (missed today though)....always looking for my "Next Bike".

IMO they SHOULD give you a T-shirt, why not, you are sponsoring them! I refuse to buy an HD shirt, if they want me to advertise for them, they can give it to me, Im not going to pay them to advertise for them!

I got a grand worth of store credit to buy accessories. However, with the interest paid to HD credit, they get it back and then some.

25% discount on any parts/accessories, t-shirt (free advertising for them) & sweet rubber keychain (also w/dealer logo - more advertising). Didn't expect anything - my deal was on the bike sale price.
