Are you saying that your buddy has the same bike as me (SDH) ordered?
Since the SDH is sort of the same bike (minus the fairing), you make me worried. But Indian give me a ship date by the end of August, and my dealer says that's all he sees as well. But I don't think my dealer is really looking at anything special, talking to anyone or doing any deep dives. When I bought/ordered the bike I was told "end of July, or early August". Then the first ship range I got was/is 7/27 to 8/31. So already.....I'm thinking end of August sure ain't "early" August...but I've sort of resigned myself to late August...maybe early Sep. But Mid October.....that would really suck.I hope you’re right about the big bikes as I put a deposit down on a Chieftain Dark Horse back in late June and the dealer originally told me that, Polaris showed, I should see it by the end of August. I went back to the dealer this last weekend just to follow up (and window shopand they told me that the end of August is now mid October due to supply chain issues. My guess is I won’t see it this year. Glad I didn’t get rid of my Stryker. Saw a beautiful Springfield and Cheiftain Elite while I was there. Making it difficult to be patient…
ooofff. On the one hand, at least they didn't wait until 9/1 or later to update. I will give them a little credit that they updated before their range expired. But to add on another 45 days....yikes.
Yes....gives you a chance to close your eyes tight, and clinch your teeth.
This crap is sort of hitting me in another area too. I've been trying to buy a Tundra through my local dealer...the same dealer that I bought my current Tundra from and process has sucked. Toyota doesn't really have a true ordering system. It's crazy that a customer has to work so hard to spend so much money buying a product.
Be sure to post pics.
+1 on this.
When did you place your order? And what is your current ship date range?
Mine was ordered on May 13, and my range is currently 7/27 to 8/31. 🤞
The color in your pic looks a lot better than what is on Indian's website (which doesn't look bad). You've already spend on some doodads as well I see.
Added bars and a tour pack? Is the tour pack quick release?
Is it odd that you have a ship date, but not a "Built" status?
Agreed! I haven't seen any comms from the dealer or Indian saying anythnig about subbing out chrome. But I'm about 100% sure my dealer has done zero since placing my order.
Maybe since I didn't check for 1 or 2 days, mine did the same thing and I just didn't see it. Either way....fingers crossed they actually ship the bike on the current date (with all the right parts), and all goes well and fast from then on. I want me bike!!!
