If its going to take your dealer 2 weeks to add your options in the begging of winter you better go ahead. God only knows what the wait time may be just B4 Spring?
Besides I bet a few days will be nice enough to ride over the winter.
An I don't know about your household, but mine can get pretty full of kids, spouses of kids, grand-kids etc. over the holidays. Even if its too cold to ride; I can go to my shop away from all the noise etc by shining or tightening, and in general peddle with my bike. An sure people will come out to see what I'm doing, ask stupid questions, but at least for that time its smaller groups.
An I just plain hate having things to do hanging over my head. If I waited I'd just set around and worry about everything that could go wrong. An believe me I have an active imagination when it comes to that sort of thing! "The Taliban could blow up the the dealership while my bike is there". I'm not quite that bad yet! However, I'm only fifty I still have time! :-)
Good luck! I don't think there is a wrong answer here.

There will be SGS's on showroom floors once the frenzy of the new model is over. Chances are you will find one on the floor at a nearby store or your dealer can locate you one. I would do it in February once the stock has built up and they are ready to move some units. Also, like others have said, use the time between now and when you purchase to carefully pick out your accessories.

Now is the time, 2014 are going at a good clip now with all the improvements the MoCo
has done. Spring time some colors may be limited, and don't forget that every mid year
a few more bikes are added to the line up. That new Road Glide may come back into the
line up, or a revamped Road King Classic could show up limiting production of other bikes.
