Dealer told me at least three weeks behind. Had an Ultra that was supposed to be in the last week of this month. Informed my Friday that it would be Oct. Getting a copper and black Ultra the end of this week instead that should have been here three weeks ago that someone back out of the deal because they got tired waiting on

When I traded for my ultra shipping date was Aug 31 told me last week moved up to 27 but this was already a bike he had scheduled just changed color and options on original order,that may have been the difference.I was also told they were going to cut back on prod.for 08 sfter building so many in 07 but who knows.

msh134,

Was there a delay with the Ultra that you just picked up? If so, how long was it delayed?

Cycleman6,

Did the dealer's system indicate that the bike was going to be late? Or, did it always show 7/31?

My ship date was the 17th. Picked it up last Wednesday (8th) I sure do like it compared to my 03'. Heat issues about the same? When I orderd the dealler told me late July or early August?

Probably many of us on this forum remember back to 1988-1999, when you had to wait two years, after placing an order, to take delivery on a new HD. Talk about running behind schedule!!!
