What a mess is right. This was their big release for 08.

Sad.

This is really disapointing for HD. I cant believe they canceled all the orders. Many people were first in line and had a preset price. Now the few the dealers get they are going to want a TON for them.

Fenders are really complicated and the best minds at HD are working on it. I suspect there's more to the delay than just a stupid fender.

was told that the fenders were not up to strength, the fender is mounted to the softail swingarm and not to the frame, just going by what one of the HD guys at the HD booth told me

Sad, BUT as already said it is good that they are making sure this thing is right before they release it.
