I am on the Harley consumer opinion panel and fill out a survey each month. In this months survey the big topic was would I buy an Ultra or Classic without a radio and wait till it becomes available to have it installed. Seems Moco won't be able to get radios from Japan because of the quake. Anyone heard of this?

 

are the radios made in japan? i know HK is a usa company - not sure where they are manufactured though.


edit: - prob the parts needed to assembly.. dur haha too early for me.

 

Maybe they should look at another supplier instead of just giving up and saying we cant get them from our supplier. It would be hard for me to buy a bike with a hole in the dash where the radio is suppose to be.

 

If the only reason for buying the bike was the radio, I would be disappointed if it did not have one. But I ride an EG standard without a radio because it dosen't have one. Ride safe

 

I thought everything was made in China. Including HK.

 

One of the questions was " would you be ok with a $500.00 gift certificate and free instalation when the radio came in" Probley 6 months. I don't think they would have asked the questions if it wern't a concern. I told them I would wait untill the radios were available before buying a new 2012. (which I was planning on)

 

I would not buy one, i would just wait

 

For $500, I wouldn't wait.

 

They also offered a Zumo GPS and a satellite radio, an approximate $900 value for no cost, with free installation when the HK's became available. All of this is only a possibility. I understood from the advisory panels questionaire that the lack of a radio was not a sure thing as of this time. If I was in the market I'd accept the satellite radio deal.

 

I took the same survey. I told them I'd wait until 2013.

What was unclear to me was if the radio would be provided later at their (MoCo) expense or if you would be on your own to buy one later. I told them they still better sweeten the deal if they were providing them later at their expense. But if it was on the buyer to get the radio later at an additional out-of-pocket cost then that's a crap deal and they wouldn't be selling many.
