ROCKER DELAY UPDATE...DAMN!
November 16th, 2007 Dealer Network
Attention: All Harley-Davidson Dealers (Classified Internal: Dealer Principal Only)
Subject: 2008 Rockerâ„¢ launch update
Deliveries of Rockerâ„¢ models are now tentatively planned for mid February. Factory Audited units will be held for release until there is a sufficient number to deliver one of either Rockerâ„¢ models to the entire dealer network. We can confirm that product engineering issues as well as component quality factors are quickly being addressed.
This revised launch timing compromises your position with retail customers and we apologize for the inconvenience. Harley-Davidson is committed to providing the highest quality products to the dealer network and your retail customers. This allows us the opportunity to assure that the new Rocker™ exceeds our customer’s expectations.
Harley-Davidson Actions Taken: Because of this revised launch timing, all Rockerâ„¢ orders are cancelled until further notice. Phase III Softail orders have been pulled forward to replace vacated production slots assuring a steady flow of Softail product into your dealership.
Dealer Action Recommended: Share this information with your Motorcycle Sales Professionals.

RE: ROCKER DELAY UPDATE...DAMN!
So what are the problems that they're addressing?
It's better that they fix them before releasin them. Imagine the complaining if they released them with a bunch of known problems...
Cheers!
