If my dealer tries to add a 'hey it's new so pay more than MSRP for it' fee I will just keep my bike coral the way it is and wait. With so much NEW on this bike I hope Harley has told the dealers to behave or they could risk losing PA business.

I don't think HD allows that **** to go on. If it does, it's on the down low, so worth reporting if anyone runs into it.

Are you referring to additional dealer markup?

Some Harley dealerships have been doing that for ages. Corporate certainly doesn't care about dealership charging extra. They do care about dealerships selling below MSRP and advertising those prices.

So I just talked to my dealer. They are writing down the options and bike the customer wants, but as of now only the standard order banks are open and the special order banks haven’t opened yet. They also told me that they are charging MSRP and no dealer markups or anything like that.

I hope dealers selling over MSRP realize that they are prioritizing short-term gains over long-term success for the Pan Am. But H-D should put their foot on this practice.
