How Long For New Bodywork?
Howdy,
Due to a deer running in front of me a while back I need new painted Harley factory pieces.
Road Glide Fairing, Front Fender, Gas Tank, Left Saddlebag, Ultra Tourpack (added after purchase), all in SMOKEY GOLD,
Any ideas on how long it takes Harley to send these items out after ordering? My local dealer got the insurance check last week,
I have heard some horror stories about super long delays,
Thanks In Advance,
Butt,

If your paint color is in production, (still a sold color) then the wait time is 6-12 weeks depending on how many orders they have. If your paint color is out of production you could wait up to 12-16 weeks. My RG parts took about 8 weeks to show up and they were ordered in March. In the summer it will take longer. Sorry.

Worked at the collision center for a dealership in Oregon for a while. Painted parts are very unpredictable. It all depends if H-D has it on the shelf. Seen it take as few as 3 weeks and as long as 5 months. Sorry I can't be more specific but it is impossible to say.

Thanks for the replies,
Looks like I am in for a LONG wait to go touring on the FLTR,
I am glad I did not sell my 03 Super Glide as I have a backup to keep me occupied while waiting for the parts for the Road Glide,
I would have been a basketcase if I did not have a ride for this summer,
OK, maybe I am anyway,

not to get your hopes up, but i ordered nearly a full paint set for my 05' road glide on may 27th this year and got all of it within 3 weeks which included a week of secondary shipping from chicago HD. i am told this is not typical at all, but it happens. hopefully you have similar luck...

Wow!!
Not that I am expecting the same, but it does give me hope!!!!
The wife does not like touring on the FXD, way to cramped for her, and the Mustang seat I bought did not help her as I had hoped,
