Hello,

This is my first time ordering a bike directly from the factory, iron 883 and the bike was ordered January 22nd and had a scheduled build date of March 18th. Just wanted to see how long of a process this truly is and when I could expect the bike directly from the York factory to the dealership...Thank you

I ordered my 1991 on August 2, 1990. I picked it up November 24, 1990. Best purchase I've ever made.

Welcome from NC. I ordered my '11 Custom in mid-January and took delivery end of April. The color came in a two-tone and I wanted a single-tone color, as well as the side covers painted the same.
