MSRP plus freight and prep, but then you need to find a dealer that has one on the floor. The dealer I do buisiness with sold them all when the anouncement came out in July. Now if it was me and I was looking to spend 35+k I wouldn't do it on a CVO bike, their having more than there fair share of engine problems. I'd buy a plain old Ultra and make it the way I want it. Part of my budget would go towards fixing the sh!tty bottom end the MoCo seems to have stuck the 07 - 08 bikes with and making some reliable power.
Does anyone know what a person should expect to pay for a 08 Screamin Eagle UC? I was at the dealer yesterday and the sales guy said 40 I couldnt believe it.
I would tell him to "step away from the crack pipe"
I'd say take your time - you will be able to buy one at a discount. Take a look around - the economy is going intoa major slump, Harley dealers are not selling bikes, and people are starting to hold back on purchasing big time.
My dealer told me that he has never had a time as difficult as now in his 40 years in the business. And it is going to get worse in 2008.

Tell that to the poor folks that have the shifted wheels. I was at a dealer talking to the tech that was tuning my bike. He was telling me that they and some other dealers he's talked to have had problems with CVO cranks shifting. Do some searching onsome otherforums and the CVO one, guys are not having them trued and welded for nothing.
