I am thinking of going with a 09 Road Glide, I was wondering if any of you had to order your Bike and how long does it take to get it in. I have been looking around and none of the local dealers have one in the Color and Options I would want.
Where are you at? I didn't order mine, I found mine on a showroom floor w/many extras already on it. My dealer had two, but other dealers I looked at had either one or none, w/few (if any) extra amenities added. You won't be disappointed w/the RG regardless of how you get it.
When I ordered my Ultra the dealer had one on order for stock.
He just called HD and had them change the color to my request and it took about 3 weeks to arrive at the dealer and another 3 day to prep.
Ordered mine on 8/11 -got it on 10/12, But I have heard they are slowing down production unless you get all extras I got everything on it pal of mine did'nt want ABS (go figure) he is still waiting for it ,he ordered first week in Oct.
Don't worry about finding the bike. Find a dealer who you would like to work with and get your price. Once you are happy with price and dealer, I am confident they will "locate" a bike for you and bring it in. (Talk to them about locating one for you.) I myself was willing to order one and would have waited for it but my dealer found one and I had it less then three weeks later.
They have a network and do trade with each other. But finding the right Dealer to work with will take some work on your part.
Good choice on the bike though, and you will be very happy with a new FLTR.
