Trike can't really be considered a rumor. The partnership between Lehman and HD was nnounced 2(?) years ago. That's not a question of "if" but "when."

I've seen colors before the dealer meeting before. I don't believe that's uncommon. What features will be introduced/continued/discontinued? That's dealer meeting info.

 

the dealer in my corner of the world (montreal) had a
trike earlier this year, 45$k canadian, was sweet though, nice built in trunk,
sound system, very nicely done....in all likelyhood it was created in house,
and not a "from the factory" model...but that being said, the fatboy was inspired
by the montreal "lowboy" that they started building in the late 80's...so who knows
what we will see eventually.

Ummm Yea, I bought my 2008 SG July of 2007. So I am thinking they certainlyshould be able toorder 09s in 08 right now...... Mine was the first batch of 08s to hit the Dealers in Portland and as I said, had a July 07 delivery to me.

I agree though it hard to order something nobody knows about pending ananouncement by the MOCO.

 

time will tell for sure

 

Not only that but vivid black makes the bike faster!

 

Vivid Black = Panty Dropper!

 

did someone say black and water cooled

 

Someone told me they will run a little hot.

 

there also discontinig the night train and the dayna wide glide they just had what hd calls a town hall meeting gm at my local dealer filled me in .

 

hotrod, I don't mind being corrected when I am wrong. I worked at a HD dealer for 2 1/2 years and know a little bit about how things operate. Here's really how it works:

Some dealers may start to receive some 09 bikes while they are at the dealer show in July however, these aren't bikes the dealer has ordered !! The first few that come in are just what the MOCO sends you,the dealerhas no say-so on what models/colors they are.

Then, while at the meeting the dealers do get to see all the models/colors and then get to order the bikes/colors that they really want. Also, depending on the allocation of bikes the dealer gets he has to order a certain amount of each type, Sporty, Dyna, Softail, Touring etc. You can't just get what you think will sell, you have to order a little bit of everything.
