I agree, my dealer has both the pewter pearl and the red sunglo(?) on the floor, and I definitely like the pewter pearl better, the chrome really pops against that color.

Good luck with your choice.

I went with the Red Sunglo and all the options. I thought I had decided on a Turquoise/White RKC but every time I saw a Red Hot Sunglo SG it was like it was calling my name.

It's done. Ordered a Pewter Pearl loaded except the wheel option. Now the waiting game. Anyone have any idea of a usual time frame?

Nice choice. The more I look at that color the more I wonder what might have been.

Do you really order a bike now or does the dealer check his incoming bikes to see if he has a bike coming in that fits what you want and if so you are able to put a deposit down on the bike?

On August 30th I put a deposit down on a bike scheduled for shipment around Sep 17th. The bike was delayed and on Sep 23rd it did have a VIN# which indicates it had been made. On Sep 26th it arrived at dealer.

Hopes this helps as I know each day waiting is a long day.

Xcrossbow,
The dealer will check Monday if incoming shippment can be changed. He acted like it would be no big deal. Knowing my luck, I would not make that shipment and I would have to wait even longer. He had said that they are looking at the next phase of bikes coming in around the end of November. As for the deposit, they requested I put it down to ensure my seriousness about the change. The deposit is fully refundable at anytime between now and arrival. Did you make any changes or was what you wanted on your bike exactly what the dealer had coming in?

I don't understand this concept of ordering. I see it all of the time on here. Don't any of the dealers that you guys deal with do searches and dealer exchanges???

Bike coming in was exactly what I wanted.

I was very anxious and did consider asking the dealer about a dealer exchange but as I've gotten older I am trying to develop the art of patience and figured I could make it 3 weeks and have "my" bike, not one that had been sitting around on some dealer's floor not knowing who might have ridden it or how they rode it. But dealer exchange is a great idea.

The dealer I went with called around to seven different dealers and none of them had what I wanted so I went with the order. I also agree with xcrossbow. I am glad that it will not be sitting on a show room floor and going out on test rides.
