I didn't include the paint option which is black pearl, the paint will increase the price by 530.00 bucks. 2,045.00 off of MSRP.

Congratulation on your purchase, you got an amazing deal.

The only thing that burns me up is this processing or setup fee you guys pay. It's BS, they get paid from Harley to do the setup, they're double dipping on you guys. It's illegal in Jersey to charge dealer prep, setup or whatever you want to call it. Fight to get it removed we did here. Why the heck should you have to pay for a product to put it in nice new condition when it should be that way when you pick it up.

Hello Roadking AL, I really appreciate your concern and frustration. I believe you are looking out for your fellow motorcycle enthusiast. I will try to talk to my dealer and see what they might do for me. According, to this thread my dealer is making a killing and I am the roadkill.
Thanks for the heads up.. I do appreciate you...I am new to the Harley world and this site is the the best thing to riding one.

Don't know where you are, but from what I've seen at the dealers out west, not much movement on Touring bikes right now from MSRP. Let us know what you come up with....

What's up bigsky, are you talking to me? Not sure if you were directing that question to me.
If you are I will be happy to answer you.

Around here the answers are none, no, and no. MSRP plus taxes and tag.

Proving, once again, that walking into a dealership after having done your homework, and telling them that you can take delivery today will always get their attention. It's called negotiating, and is still the best way to buy anything.
Giving the dealer "one shot" to earn your business never will get as good a price as a strong negotiator will get.

Nice job on getting $2,000 off your '09!

Of course not.........they stopped shipping them in July when the '09's came out. If you want an '08, all 3 Harley dealers in Broward have plenty in stock.
