That is hard to believe! If so, great! Painting alone should be that much. I haven't taken an inner fairing off and on but others that have told me it is a least a four hour job.

Edit: that really is their price, just had it done and got my Ultra back yesterday, they even insisted on delivering it in a trailer instead of me riding it home on the salty streets[/QUOTE]
To me that is a great dealership that cares about your ride as much as you do. That's cool to hear.....

This is going back a few years, but in September '06 I crashed. No structural damage, it was all cosmetic. Anyway, the insurance cut me a check for $4500. I took the insurance parts list, the dealer's quoted repair/parts list and tweeked them both and made my list of what I was going to replace. Then I waited until December 24th, when a local dealer was having a 24% off anything in stock sale. I got about 75% of my list that day. The other 25% were painted parts which they did not have. I shopped Zanottis and Chicago. Chicago had the best painted parts prices hands down. I got my parts in about 3 weeks.
Did I mention that they were Vivid Black? Everybody knows that black is the fastest color.

They don't carry about anything in stock. They go straight to the HD warehouse wherever that is. So there will ALWAYS be a wait.
The price you pay for 20% off. Worthy if you ask me. I've saved thousands over the years if I was willing to wait a few (or more) weeks for it.
One thing to point out. Any dealership that does not have the part you are looking for locally has to go get the part from the HD supply system (warehouse) just like Chicago Harley. At least with Chicago you are saving 20%...

Like you say, I understand that Chicago's Internet Dept. has no inventory but orders from HD after you order from them. Zanotti, OTOH, does keep a store inventory that can be accessed on-line, and internet orders are tapped from that. It is listed by part number and quantity.

OTOH, plug in 40287-07 (MSRP $305) and you'll see $244 at Chicago HD, $198.25 at Zanotti's. That's about 35% off at Zanotti's! Talk about a mark-up! When I need something I check both with shipping included, then decide. If it's close I'll check Zanotti's inventory on-line and decide based on availability and price.
