My dealer said he would call the factory next week and find out if we can get an idea of when it may be in.

Been waiting since Sept too.... I have heard so many delivery dates that I won't believe it till it is in my hands. Hey, maybe HD should get the same guys that put out the docs on heated grips and quick release brackets to write up the new manual... nah, I would rather wait 5 years than read garbage.

It amazes me that you can design, build, and release, the bike but can't release the service manual. You would think they would be updating the friggin manual as they were building the bikes

The parts guy at Texan HD in Conroe Texas told me he has already sold some and was currently out and had some more coming in after the first. I asked him 3 times if he understood what I was looking for and he said yes. He said he had like 5 coming in and 3 were already sold. He is supposed to call me when they come in. If this guy is telling me the truth then what gives? T.

A lot of dealers are selling them, they just don't have them Why would they be in a hurry? Would they rather sell you a book or service it for you?

Once I get my hands on an 08 Service Manual, I'm going to have to find something new to bitch about!
