By the grace of the Grand Poobah, and my dogged determination - 3 months after I signed the deal on my bike, pipes, tuner and AC.... the fawking parts shall finally be fitted on Saturday morning.
This experience has been a compelling argument for buying the parts overseas and swinging the tools myself. Why I did not? ... well, at the time I was trying to control myself from throwing up after spending way over my percieved budget on a bike..."Oh come on mate, naaahh you HAVE to get the pipes and everything put on before you take delivery, you'll hate the bike otherwise"....
Ok, ok....I'll buy it all.
3 months later.... and countless phone calls on my part. I'm finally on the way to getting the Harley I wanted.
So, what can I expect? Stock Dyna Streetbob....VH longshots, and SE tuner.
Ideally, i'd just love a little more noise. I almost got wiped out by a bunch of bobble heads because they didnt look, and obviously didnt hear me.
****Disclaimer, post is pretty pointless - but i'm kinda thrilled to be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel****

Don't worry it will be worth the wait when you kick her over the 1st time. I have the V/H Big Shots Staggered on my 2011 Wide Glide, just starting it puts a smile on my face.
Running the standard pipes it sounded like a Jap Bike and felt like a 1200. With the pipes and the tune it now pulls like a train.
I have had the same experience with Dealers in WA, hence I did most of the work on my bike myself as every time I tried to organise someone to look at my bike I go the standard reply “Mate we are flat out be 2 weeks before we can even look at it”. The WA dealers also have little if no parts on hand they all come ex eastern states and US.
