Picked up my FLHXXX
I think the Phoenix metro area has seven Harley dealers. I went to six of them looking for an FLHXXX as I didn't want all the bling on the Tri Glide. Interesting experience. Dealer 1, "we'll call around and see if one is available and call you back." They never called back. Dealer 2, "we know where one is, but we get MSRP plus $5000.00 for all trikes." Dealer 3, "we have one in our Idaho store" and they made a very fair offer for my bike and the price on theirs. Only issue was it would take about $500.00 to get it shipped down. Dealer 4, way the heck on the opposite side of the valley from where I am, but they had one in stock with the luggage rack and passenger backrest installed. Full price on bike and accessories plus installation for the accessories and a very high dealer prep charge. Also low ball offer on my bike. Told Dealer 3 let's do it. They called back a couple of hours later and said they found one closer so we didn't need to worry about freight. Picked it up today. It was the one from Dealer 4 and Dealer 3 kept to the price we had negotiated and threw in the accessories. 50 mile ride back home was interesting. Sure handles different and that Street Glide seat has to go. It's about 105 today and I was hot as heck driving my bike over (2009 Electra Glide with no cat). On the 50 mile ride back I really couldn't tell any difference on the new one except at traffic lights. You could feel the heat, but in Phoenix in the summer all air cooled engines are HOT since there the air is also HOT. Was hot but not as hot as I was expecting from all the hoo haa on the various wires. Anyway, I'm leaving for a trip and won't be back until July 5. So, that will give me time to figure out what type of seat I want to put on it and any other driver comfort accessories I might need.
