    when i ordered my sporty from frasers at homebush i was told 5 months this was last year then one day i decided to go for a drive to frasers at broadmeadow after i had already left deposit at homebush and sitting in the corner of their showroom was the exact bike i had ordered from homebush after a talk to the sales person there a little bit of whinging a couple of phone calls they did a stock swap for me and i had it after about 2 weeks but the thing that got me was the sales person at homebush asured me none of their other dealers had 1i guess i was lucky cheers.

    Interesting post Dave. I asked what availability was like, was told late Aug was the best I could hope for. I specifically asked could they stock swap from othe dealers as I would presfer to deal locally & not wait till Aug. Was told Harley don't do that. I just changed my order today to another dealer close by that can supply the exact bike in 2 weeks!! They only had to make the phone call I made and they'd have sold me the bike & delivered it locally.

    I work in a similar industry & we pull stock from Syd, Melb, even NT to keep our clients happy & local. Don't make sense??

    Good news is my Nightster in Vivid Black with V&H Black Short Shots, SE AC + Doebeck now arrives in a week . I'm bouncing off the walls!!!!

    Hey Toxic,

    Call Col at Seaside in Ballina mate. I have a hot tip he may be able to help you with a Silver/Blk Nightster VERY soon! He is a true gentleman and I'm sure would be happy to have a chat. Give him a call...tell him Locky sent you! Cheers.

    Well I went down to homebush again today, they had an all black nightster there for delivery, I was all over it, got some pics & had a long sit while imagining myself cruising through the country side, it had the forward controls too, which were the first I'd seen in person, then wouldn't ya know the owner showed up, ow well August is one day closer tonight.

    I'm f*^%'n gutted!! Got the old dealer phone call yesterday that the bike they said was to be here NOW, still hasn't left the US?! Was told should be only 2-3 weeks more? Unless the bike is strapped to the top of a nuclear sub I think this is B.S!!

    Not happy Jan.

    I understand it's hard to monitor the bike from so far away. I struggle every day at work with stuff coming from Germany, but man I was soooo excited!! BUGGER!

    If its any consolation,
    when I got my softy, the computer was saying hasnt arrived in Mebourne yet and it was on the floor in Wollongong. Cant rely on the delivery dates and it is actually out o the dealers control. It lies with HD Australia.

    regards,

    Mick
