They don't have a MMI for salesmen. The ONLY way they can gain experience is thru job experience. If you've been around bikes for thirty years and you see a 23 year old salesman who has been around Harleys for 2 years I wouldn't expect him to know more than I do about bikes.

RE: Can HD experts be found in HD dealerships?
ORIGINAL: KRUZ N i never heard it called a "cow glide" i only heard it called a "moo glide" now the only person that can tell what the value is, is you. whatever you paid for it is it's value.
Nope! However, last night I told a neighbor what I bought. He bought his first HD in '93. While talking on the phone he pulled out a HD Rolling Sculpture book by Doug Mitchel. He then read this from the book: "The most collectible of modern Harleys is the 1993 FLSTN, affectionately know as the "Cow Glide." ..."The FLSTN was offered in different two-tone colors for the next several years, but those lucky enough to get one of the black-and-white '93s were rewarded with an instant classic and a sure-fire future collectible."
I don't exactly know for sure what makes an "expert", but I'm thinking this Doug guy should go to work, or own, the dealership in my town.
If anyone has a good opion as to the value, SPEAK UP PLEASE!

So... did you ever get an estimate of the value of your "Moo Glide"? I would be interested in knowing if they ever got a collector following.

My neighbor called the dealer in Ohio where he purchased his bike. The person he deals with immediatly knew what he was talking about. He placed the sell price at his shop around 19K. Sounds a little high to me, but the guy I bought mine from paid 24K in 1999. The bike had 1500 miles on it at the time.

I hate when you go in for a part you want and are willing to make fit and they don't want to sell it because Harley says it won't fit. I know what Harley says, but Snapon says it will.

I know brainiac, but that's the part I need. It will fit when I'm done with it.

C'mon guys....they're just like anyone else they're good ones and there are bad ones....my dealership has a great parts dept (yeh they have a boutique as well), but the guys'll bend over backwards to help you out. I really dont know about the sales dept.
