I was told they do each color 1 time per month, so how long it takes depends on how close you order to that day. In any case, it should never be more than 5 weeks and sometimes as little as a few days.
ditto. the factory paints in batches only. they make no customer service jobs even if they screw up. it gets painted when it's time to paint that color. took 8 weeks to get the right color matched bags.
Hey guys, I just ordered the painted inner fairing for my 08 flhx and was wondering what the "REAL" wait time usually is.
I think they do paint runs by color and it depends on how close your order is to that scheduled run. My lowers took only 12 days including shipping time, but my Tour Pak was received 28 days after ordering.
Hey guys, I just ordered the painted inner fairing for my 08 flhx and was wondering what the "REAL" wait time usually is. Does it ever come in 2 weeks, more like 4, closer to the 6 or "it's been 6 weeks and I'm still waiting!!!". I've just never read any threads on this topic and with all of the new 09's coming out, I'm sure others will be wondering the same? Thanks ahead of time.
It depends.......I've ordered painted parts.....got some of the parts in a couple of weeks and wait for ten weeks for another (all the same color....09 Red Hot Sunglo).
The same thing happened when I ordered painted parts for me SEEG after my accident. Some parts came right away and some I had to wait on.
As was explained to me by HD at the Sturgis rally a couple of years ago.....they will do a paint run of misc. parts, a color at a time. When parts get ordered, they'll run out of some parts before others and have to wait for another run before they restock that color.
So, while the painted leg fairings came first, then the saddle bag spoilers about a week later........had to wait several more weeks for the painted inner fairing.
I ordered Black Cherry lower Fairings and King Tour Pak. I received and had installed with in 3 weeks, including matching lock for Pak and Lockable Fairing glove boxes.
My inner fairing took 4weeks and my tour pack took 3weeks.it was mairage orange.it suprised my dealer cause he thought it would be 6 to8 weeks for that color.
Last fall I got hit in the a$$ by a cager. It took 2 months to get a new rear fender for my 04 Heritage. Fortunatly, it was the end of the riding season here in Wisconsin.
Oh my, this just happened to me. Luckily the insurance adjuster said I could ride it while we are waiting for the fender.
