including all your hours since you are flat rate
Thats the thing, I'm not flat rate, I work on straight time. I'm there for 8 hours, I get paid 8 hours.
I think that you're overreasting and you just don't understand that its not the dealer's fault you didn't get the financing.
Overreasting? I understand perfectly that it is not the dealerships fault that the finance company was having problems approving my finance. However, it is the dealers fault for the poor customer service I experienced.
make sure you know how to fix it
I'm not a backyard mechanic, I actually know how to fix vehicles...bikes aren't much different.

Everything sound strange! I use HD Financial and it was approve right there at the dealership in 15 minutes. Got in and left in an hour. So Someone in the dealership dont know how to do their job.

I'd love to hear the dealerships side of the story.
There are always three versions to every story, your side, their side, and somewhere in between...the true story.
Anyway, enjoy your new ironhead.

I wouldn't mind hearing the dealerships side of the story too! They kept me in the dark like a bastard child.

Already enjoying the Ironhead, got the tins off, trying to clean it up a bit, need to take the ign cylinder in to try and get a key made for it. Then the real fun starts when we try and get it running.

No worries Freewheelin'!

I do not have much for full bike shots right now, I pretty much just started tearing into it and only took pictures for reference. This one shot is how the bike sits right now. Tins and exhaust are off, took a few other odds and ends off. Have a list of items I need to get it to the point of trying to start it. Here is a link to a teardown vid though! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY5RdAqb6hI
