I just ordered a vivid black 07 fatboy rear fender to put on my fxstc. It took 5 weeks to come in. $309

 

Anyone have an idea on whether primed only parts take as long?

Thinking about ordering a primed spoiler and having a friend (body shop owner) paint it black.

-stef

 

I'm starting to think that might be a better way to go. I have a friend that could paint a primed spolier for me quick once I got it to him. It'd probably be quicker to have him order the paint from Harley than to wait for them to do it if the average wait time is as long as it seems.

 

yes, primed parts usually take much less time, don't know exactly how long. good luck and keep us posted

 

Well an update on my situation. My fender came in last Fri and the bike is in now getting it mounted. It didn't take anywhere near as long as first anticipated.

thank God....lol

 

When I asked this question 6 weeks ago, I was quoted 49 days lead time + shipping time.

 

I work in P&A at a local dealer and I can confirm that painted parts generally talke anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks to arrive. If your P&A professional does their job correctly, they can obtain the info right off the computer telling them the anticipated lead time for any part. But if you happen to need current model year painted parts odds are they're in stock and will arrive in 3-5 days.

 

parts are on and I'm on da road again.....now if it'd quit raining.....[:@]

 

I gotta stop reading this forum without my glasses on.
When I first saw this, I thought it said "pants are on"! [sm=wtf.gif]
