I'm now on week 6, starting today, waiting for my new Fat Bob to be ready. The bike was there at the dealership when I bought it back in April and its taken this long to order and install aftermarket parts and the wait continues. Last week I was told they are waiting for my air filter and rear fender bib to arrive.

I'm not getting impatient since I did order more than a few parts and I expected to have to wait a while but does Harley usually take this long? I was originally figuring 3-4 weeks.

Did you custom mod freaks clean out all the stores in North America over the winter or something?

 

I bought both HD's I've had off the floor, the bikes were ready before I signed the paperwork.

 

My 2000 took 4 months to get....That was the norm a decade ago.

 

I could've done the same if I knew it would take this long and just ride the bike stock for a while until everything showed up. Not that I could have done much riding anyway with all the bad weather we've been having.

 

Damn! Was that 4 months just waiting on parts or the bike itself from the factory?

 

Im on week 2.....still waiting.

 

I've bought 5 new Harleys from the same dealer, & I've never waited more than an HOUR from the time I pulled the trigger (sorry) till I rode away on the bike. 'Course I do all the mods slowly over time, not all at once.

 

Bought off the floor. Had 400km's on it before the personal check cleared...

 

In 07 when Rush pipes was just starting to become popular, my dealer couldn't get the mufflers I wanted, so I called Rush and they overnighted a pair of them to another dealer even closer to my house than where I bought the bike.
The dealer couldn't get them because of their agreement with another muffler brand that they sold.

point is, some times U may look around, make a couple call and see if can speed things up by finding the parts elsewhere.

 

I bought mine new in a crate. It took them about an hour to get it put together. I rode it home, picked up a few things, and rode it 350 miles to the beach (two lane roads, with lots of gear changes/stops for break in. The next morning I rode it back home.

You're missing out. Go get your bike. For me mods are something that occurs when I realize a need over the course of thousands of miles, not something I pick out of a catalogue the day I bought the bike. Go ride it, sit in the garage and stare at it, and figure out what it needs a little at a time.
