Default color ????????

New from NY
I recentley put money down on a new fat bob. The dealer did not have one in stock. So 2 months have gone by, and no bike. Luckily I stopped at another dealer who had one, and I dont like it. But there was a wide glide next to it, which I love. I called my dealer and he said he had an 07 left over for $15500, but it is in a color I dont like, (pearl blue/vivid black)and I dont like the anniv. colors either.

Has anyone had a dealer that was willing to swap, or exchange tanks/tins? I would want it vivid black, I really dont want to wait for an 09 to get a black one. Any Ideas?

Welcome from Atlanta! If it meant waiting for me to get the exact bike I want, I would. I'm not sure about the dealer swapping tins. Kind of doubt it but you never know.

Welcome from Denver. Some dealers are willing to search around and find the bike you wantat another dealer. They then buy it or swap for it and you're good to go. When I bought my RG, I wanted a crimson sunglow one. My dealer found me one somewhere else in Colorado, but it was already "optioned up". I ended up waiting for a bike that the dealer already had on order.
