I bought a new Harley, 1/20/21 and was already built, sitting at the factory just 100 miles from my home. Computer showed it to be shipped on 2/9/21. It now was changed to ship date of 3/1/21. All transportation delay.

I'd be furious, the HD dealer needs to send a trailer and get it.

H-D Corp won’t allow that or my dealer would let me take their truck and trailer to go get it. Heck, there’s a dealer 3/4 mile from the York factory and they can’t pick up their bikes.

Well,I ordered 01/29, the order/build website is crap, it tells me nothing except it’s in production and expecting delivery to dealer mid April. Does anyone have access to more specific information? 3 1/2 months seems like a lifetime especially as we’re down to a one car family.

ordered mine 12/21/20. It’s been built for about a month now, just sitting in Kansas City. Waiting for trucks to deliver. Was told when I ordered the the hold up has been with delivery. Supposed to be here in 2 weeks. But we’ll see.

ordered a new Harley, I know it was build before Jan 19th. Sitting 100 miles away at York, Pa waiting for a truck. Delivery date has been changed twice.

The Ford track your build site is useless, it now requires your order number too. Mine was due to build 3/8, a few day after that it simply has a semi filled out “in production” icon, today it still shows the same but a date 3/15 just appeared above it and it shows anticipated delivery to dealer 4/13 (used to be 4/10)

does anyone have access to real information, is it built, is it painted, is the power train mated to the body, is it QA’d, what is happening?

this is so frustrating, I paid 3 times more for this truck than I did for my first house and FMC tell you 9/10 of square root of f@$k all. 🤬

May I ask why? I do believe Harley's days are numbered. I have two in great shape sitting in my garage that I can't give away. Well, honestly I could give them away but I'm not letting them go for what some people want to pay. Honestly, if I were to purchase a new bike today it would not be a HD.

Checked the build tracker this morning, it all started with an estimated delivery date of 4/10, then it was 4/13 today it shows “N/A”. Deplorable customer service in my opinion.

I got word from the dealer today, the area rep sent him a message saying the “unit is produced but not gate released, in 380 status. Unit is not shippable”
Does anyone have a clue what that means?

Yes, it means it is built but waiting on some electronic boards. Every brand is having to do that Ford has even cut som shifts because of it.
