Submitted by Michael Curry on May 29, 2008 - 10:38pm.

2009 HD Military Sales

Submitted by Okinawa Military Sales (not verified) on June 24, 2008 - 9:20pm.

For customers who qualify through our program, this is a very exciting time. HD has increased their MSRP for 2009 model year. And being true to military has provided a significant price cost savings over the increase.
HD has cut production, so we can't special order all models, so 1st come, 1st Ride, Get with the nearest HD Sales agent overseas to ensure you get the ride you deserve

Submitted by 1SG (not verified) on June 30, 2008 - 4:55am.

I am on my 3rd tour to Iraq and while here in 03' I ordered an 03' FLTRI and was very happy with them and the bagger as my 2nd Harley. In May I ordered an 09' FLTR at Harley sales guy at the PX I was not able to get the white pearl like I wanted. I have had great dealings with Mil sales. After I get the 09' in I will still keep the old shovel but the 03' is for sale.

We thank you for your service...

Ditto! Thank you

Submitted by Ridgerunner (not verified) on July 18, 2008 - 6:43am.

I can't even imagine how difficult 3 tours has been on you, your family & friends, but rest assured, the majority of us out here thank you from the bottom of our hearts, knowing we can never really repay such a debt.

... oh, and ENJOY YOUR NEW RIDE!!

Does anyone know how if a veteran can order from a military rep?

Submitted by Zach (not verified) on July 2, 2008 - 12:42pm.

I put a deposit down on an 09' Nightrain and was wondering how the military order works? I am a verteran and was wondering if I qualify. Also is there a discount?

You need to be on orders

Submitted by Double Dog (not verified) on July 4, 2008 - 11:04am.

You need to be on orders downrange for at least 30 days or more.

A retiree can also buy a bike if they are stationed overseas and have logistical support overseas, that equals usually 30 day orders.

100th anniversary of the H-D V-twin in 2009

Submitted by rumormill (not verified) on July 7, 2008 - 8:11pm.

H-D first made V-twin engines in 1909, didn't they? Anyone know if they are planning another 'anniversary' edition for that one?

More 2009 H-D rumors - water pumpers and massive changes?

Submitted by Michael Curry on July 10, 2008 - 8:00pm.

cvoharley.com has an interesting thread featuring rumor and conjecture radical changes to the touring line-up. More than just chrome and paint... ...radical enough to warrant the dealers being advised to clear out their 2008 models... even at a discount.

Watercooled motors or just the heads? Read on...

2009 MODELS CHANGES TOURING MODELS

Submitted by NO BS HERE. (not verified) on July 13, 2008 - 2:04am.

All FLH and FLT models will have a 180mm rear tire. The fender looks pretty bad, similar to a kawi or honda.
The exhaust now runs under the bike for the left muffler, no longer going over the motor. extended side covers to help with heat problems.
huge frame down tubes, looked like 2 1/2" O.D.
ABS standard in 2009

CVO models 118" motors

thats enough for now

WOW!! That is exciting news! I am going to put a down payment on a '09 CVO Ultra then!

This was so stupid I had to comment

Submitted by HD dealership Sales Manager (not verified) on July 19, 2008 - 6:51pm.

Hmmm The Screamin' Eagle models wore that 180 just fine. I thought it looked good. There was a completely new frame for the 96 and 6 gallon gas tank. Why would they redesign? I just did my fall orders and ABS is still an option. (although you should buy it)

What would 118" be? Why not a Jim's 120 Hmmmm..

The fender looks pretty bad?? Your scaring me. Looking forward to purchasing 2009 RKC. What does G mean by "huge frame down tubes, looked like 2 1/2" O.D"?? Last hog I owned was a 88 Heritage, so I am rusty on this subject.

Military Sales

Submitted by Expat Stu (not verified) on July 29, 2008 - 10:38pm.

I saw a lot of info on military sales on this forum. I will be briefly rotating back to the US in summer 2009 and want to pick up a HD V-Rod. Do military sales really provide that much savings. From what I can tell on the internet, it only seems to be about 8% off the MSRP. I am wondering if I should get a low-milage used bike instead and save a few thousand. Would appreciate anyone's experience with this.
