I was curious if any of you guys have heard of this... i went to the closest harley store around here which isn't many and a guy told me that in 08 they are going to have to be compliant with california which will hinder the power.. i dont have a clue what kind of rules cali has but i was curious if anybody has any info or heard anything about that.. i'm figuring this guy is just trying to cob me into buying a 07 before 08s bust out.. i dunno

Lots of those stores popping up at vacation sites around the world.
I was at a nice apparel only store in the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Honolulu. Lots of nice HD "island" clothing.

There are tons of clothing only stores. I wanted to open one myself in downtown Baltimore there is just one catch, you have to own a full dealership for the MoCo to allow you to open a clothing only store. Those clothing only stores you see are just offshoots of a larger dealer.

CA has even more strict emissions requirements for '08, but Harley has apparently certified all their bikes for sale here. We'll have to wait and see if they've really improved things, or if they've just leaned them out even more than the '07s.

I'm sure the aftermarket will adress the issue, which works just fine for someone like me who likes taking stuff off and putting different stuff on... even if I'm not terribly good at it yet.

I heard Harley is no longer selling bikes, just Harley clothes.
That's funny cause I went home on leave from Iraq in May and went to Disney World with my wife and went to the Orlando Harley Davidson store in Downtown Disney. It was the biggest joke ever cause it was nothing but apparel. The kids working there were no more than 21 years old and I'm willing to bet none of them owned a harley or new the difference between a sportster and a road king. Maybe that was the first of the new clothes only Harley-Davidson stores.

The North West Terminal In Detroit has an HD kiosk (for lack of a better description) They had clothes, some key fobs, wallets, etc. Oh I almost forgot they had a brand new Sporty on display, it had a sign on it "NOT FOR SALE".
