My dealer is having a 25% off party on Thursday for those that bought a new bike in 2008. I'll be ordering a Tour Pak and Vented Lowers for my Black Ice/Blue Ice Street Glide. I'm not going to expect them for 3 months or more.
Man that is going to look hot. You gotta post up some hi-res pics when you get those bits installed.
It took 6 months to get a painted air cover. Seems everytime I've ordered there, the part was back ordered. I'm done with them. Zanotto offers the same discount.
My blue cobalt vented fairing lowers only took 3 weeks, but that was two years ago, and they may have had them in stock (or the MoCo did - the paint color was still realtively new, so they may have been carrying inventory).
It all depends on what the factory is painting and when... I ordered a tourpak and was told up to 12 weeks. It came in 4! I ordered hard bags; again I was told up to 12 weeks and they came in 2! I suggest you plan on 12 and be happy if you get it sooner. I was pretty happy twice! It's not Chicago HD, it's just the way orders are processed and MOCO does what they do.
I ordered my painted parts from my dealer and waited a total of 4 weeks. It was a custom paint job that Harley offers. What is weird though is the paint job came from a painter out of Arizona. I assumed Harley paints their own tins, but clearly they outsourced the job.
4 to 4.5 hours is what my dealer charged me for changing the inner fairing and I've done enough work there to know I can trust them. The 2.5 hours may not be accurate and if it isn't a firm estimate, you might end up spending more than the 2.5 hour labor cost.
Wow, my nearest dealer, House of Harley, has a flat $210 fee to pull, paint and re-install an inner fairing. Sounds like a very fair price...
Edit: that really is their price, just had it done and got my Ultra back yesterday, they even insisted on delivering it in a trailer instead of me riding it home on the salty streets
