That sounds like the lower end of the MSRP and that is good. Sounds like good discounts on the rest of the stuff. It's not in your garage yet? I've had my 04 Road King for about 18 months. It has been great, but it's not the fastest bike out there. After 12,000 miles, I had SE slip ons, SE air filter and a V&H fuel pack installed last month. What a difference! I doubt you would appreciate the upgrade unless you are used to the standard motor w/o mods.

MSRP:
Vivid black $15,395
ESPFI $225



Seems like a great deal OTD considering what MSRP is. I would try for 20% off accessories or just buy online as there are plenty of places selling for 20% off. Free delivery is also nice.

CONGRATS!! on the new bike

I just picked up the exact same bike yesterday. Rode it home, about 70 miles, in 40-45 degree temperatures. Anyway, I paid 16,380 OTD with a $500 gift certificate, so I look at it as 15,880. Anyway, this should give you an idea.

Wow! That's all I can say!

By the time tax, prep, license, ca smog, etc... I paid 6k more.

Oh and labor rate is $95/hour here

I'd be all over that deal.

15-20% off with a low labor rate like you quoted makes all the difference in the world. Might as well pick out all your stuff and have them slap it on before you bring it home. That's a great deal.

Have Fun With Your New Bike

If it's WHAT YOU WANT then its a great deal........if not, well you know

Bought my bike last month......
10% off parts at the desk after the sale
Labor rate of $90 @ hr in Jersey

But they had a saturday special of 15% off labor and parts, so I had the SE Big Bore kit installed, alarm/siren/pager installed and a cover too, before I picked up the bike!
Hey it was 15% off...............[8D]
