If you buy a Harley and have Harley products you are cooler or whatever it may be than other people.
I think you should sell your Harley. If I felt that way, everythime I saw my bike I get upset.

Not on 2.0 baffles or smaller. 2.5 require fuel management. The ECU will automatically adjust on 2.0 and smaller.. But I did add a Stage 1 SE/KN air filter so now it was necessary. I picked up a brand new V&H Fuelpac on ebay for 125.00. Installed it in 30 minutes & the bike runs & sounds great. A stage one upgrade on the ECU is not required. I'm running stock on the ECU.

Sorry about the delay but it was vacation time. I would go with the slip-ons for around 275.00 installed. I want to hold on to the stock mufflers but if I change my mind I'll PM you.

that should help you out. harley isn't going to move off there msrp kick anytime soon i think. i talked to a sales guy at the local harley shop and he told me that they will get a call from harley if they go below msrp on a new bike, only think i've seen is them throw in maybe a set of saddle bags or something like that.

LOL!!! This sounds like something a salesperson would say it Indy-West HD. And of course they would be wrong. The MoCo can only "suggest" a price that a dealer sells at. The franchised dealer can charge anything he wants to. The MoCo will not and cannot dictate what a dealer can charge for anything in a franchised store.

(hopefully my first post will be a good one)
I’ve been riding American since 1984. I bought a Shovel basket-case that I wound up riding for nearly 20 years. Then (with more dollars in my pocket than sense in my head), I took possession of nearly 30 grand worth of junk (read: American Iron Horse). I’m sure a lot of you have had great experiences with one-offs and special construction bikes and I’m not looking to badmouth either. Me, I wound up unloading the AI for pennies on the dollar and I’m eyeballing an 09 Road King. And here’s my problem…
I haven’t been an HD dealership in years, so I’m wondering if you’re dealing with cash, is there any room to negotiate these days? Way back when, you paid MSRP for the bike and were lucky if the dealer hadn’t piled on $1000s worth of “genuine” accessories (at 300% profit)
So what gives, can I walk in and offer 10% under msrp? 20%? Or are they goin to laugh me outta the dealership?s

Kosco HD in New Jersey was giving 15% off on all in-stock 2009's, last month. That's where I would start. Price the bike w/options you want on the HD website and add $500 for setup/delivery-- then deduct 15%. Go to/email dealers with your offer.
