Another delay

Just spoke with my dealer...mydelivery date for my POSE ultrais pushed back again. This is the third change in the delivery date inas many weeks.Does anybody know what is going on? Are they having problems with parts or have they scaled back production so much there just not making the numbers of bikes as the past? They said 11/21 this time but they didn't say which year.....Anybody got the inside scoop???

I had a SE Ultra on order and gave up after the 3rd delay and went with a SG instead and will build it the way I want it..............

RE: Another delay

Speculation: HD is juggling production to reduce production volumes. Also, IIRC, the POSE is a lower margin bike thanthe other touring models, so they are probably using the reduced production line capacity to produce higher margin bikes and stacking the POSE to run a batch at the same time. I imagine if you knew the reason you might be more comfortable than not knowing, but you wouldn't get your bike any sooner.

Gripe/complain to the dealer and see if you can get a free service or other "compensation" for the delay to ease your pain.
