One shock mounted at an angle like a dirt bike. Not under the frame.

Now...back to reality...the full list customers are few and far between. I'm always willing to negotiate and quite honestly, each deal is different and there's no such thing as a "bottom dollar" for each bike. There is a "bottom dollar" for each deal.

Yes, that means salespeople discriminate and you may not get the "Same" deal as your buddy. He may have caught them at the right time, or right after the boss said we need to sell this bike today, etc.

My recomendation...be realistic, be ready to buy when you start negotiating and be nice (we're all trying to make a living). Remember...without dealers, you won't have a Harley-Davidson available to ride. We all need each other.

Happy shopping! Ride Safe!
