Working way to hard on this. I looked online, found every harley dealership within 250 miles of my place and emailed them at 8:00 AM. By 8:15 i had more replies than i expected and by 8:30 had picked one out. Can't beat online shopping if you already know what you want..
I did it the old school way. I went to the city library and took down the numbers from the yellow pages for about 10 dealers in southern California.
Of course this was in 1986 though.
Everyone except Lancaster was selling above MSRP.
I even had one owner lie and say the MSRP was 1K over what it actually listed for and then tell me Bill was stupid for selling to me that cheap.

I'll pass along the info, your right we are in the middle of no where, but he has called every dealer from San Fran to SD & that 16k price just seems to be the locked in price.
I keep telling him look for a used bike I got a great deal on my used ultra.
Those of us who are in the same work center that all have HD's have never seen this sort of "stone walling" on a price. I know the plants are suppose to be shut down for retooling & all that BS.
Just seems so odd, & I have went sporty-dyna-ultra in 3 years with no hassle, it was easier than buying my wife's SUV.
Even sales guys who were great to me, just have not been willing to flex at all.

Last fall I picked up another Street Bob (sold my first one). A dealer said come get one, new, with 500 bucks worth of add ons, you pick. Price out the door was probably 1500 to under MSRP. I went with a used one off of CL with 8500 miles for 8500 bucks.
I can not believe that much changed in 8 months, there are cheap bikes out there both NEW and USED..
