Just wanted to let everyone know, from April 1st through May 3rd, every scheduled maint service(1k,5k,10k interval) is priced at 10% off parts and labor. That is an average savings of $45.00. Contact the Service Department for details.
Also, we are keeping our low tire prices through the summer!!! Tire specials are good on any Dunlop or Michelin tires and saves the customer up to $150.00 on certain sizes!!! Remember that tires, brakes and oil changes are done on a walk-in basis through are Express Lane Service program.
Ride safe and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Can I hear that at 80 MPH
Here it is 4:45 PM on a Friday and the traffic on north bound 395 is just flying along. Normally it is gridlock rapidly turning into parking lot by this time of the day. I can only think it is a testimony to the reduction in the local work force. Like watching your mother-in-law driving your new car over a cliff, I have mixed feelings about the reduced number of commuters. Fewer commuters means fewer workers, and that eventually means fewer dollars to spend at Reno Harley-Davidson/Buell (not a good thing). It also means fewer opportunities to be put in harms way by a ton or so of metal trying to occupy the same space I am in, on my scooter (not a bad thing). Either way it makes me want to get out there and ride very far, very fast. Which brings me around to, "can I hear the radio at 80 MPH?"
80 seems to be a benchmark for a majority of bagger buyers. If you can hear the radio at 80 then life is good I guess. I almost never am asked "can you hear the radio at 120". I am thinking that at 120 you are mostly focused on riding the bike not rocking AC/DC. What ever the speed you need to listen to music you can do it on your Harley. Now you can sample that sound in the Reno H-D parts department. Our new speaker display features a bat wing fairing with a Harmon-Kardon advanced audio system and a set of J&M after market fairing speakers.
The J&M speakers are in my opinion the best you can buy for the money you spend. Each speaker has a water-proof molded polycarbonate woofer and two tweeters. Each speaker is designed to handle 140 watts! The stock audio system puts out 40 watts per channel. ( I'm thinking an amp here) The speakers are direct replacements for the stock speakers. They just bolt right in. Stop in at the parts department and give them a listen, because yes, you can hear the music at 80 MPH.

Hear! Hear!
One of the nice things about late winter in northern Nevada is getting in the new products for the spring. We receive new stuff almost everyday this time of year. One of the new products we got in this week is from Hog Tunes. Their new product is called the Tweeter. It fits on your fairing.
The Tweeter is designed for the H-D batwing fairing and mounts on the dash area over the speedo-tach. It is, as the name implies, a pair of one inch tweeters that deliver mid to upper range sounds. The kit is easy to mount, comes in satin black to match the stock Harley inner fairing. It is paint ready if you have a gloss black or color matched inner fairing. the wiring harness is plug and play.
Easy to install at home, the kit comes with two sets of speaker grills, and a drilling template for perfect mounting holes. The tweeter is warranted by the manufacturer for 20 years. Stop by the Reno Harley-Davidson/Buell Parts Department and have a look at the Tweeter Pod.

The Sun is Out! The Sun is Out!!
What a beautiful day! The weather forecast was so promising I unhooked the battery tender and took my scoot for the daily commute. I didn't see a whole lot of bikes out on the freeway, and I was the only bike in our parking lot. I have to admit it was a little chilly this morning. My wind deflector (Can't really call it a windshield. It would have to shield something)/ fairing doesn't offer a lot of protection. Fortunately I have a short ride. It felt pretty good to ride after a couple of weeks of caging. I could feel the knot between my shoulders start to ease. Some of that was because my scoot uses a whole lot less fuel that my truck, but mostly it is great to be back on two wheels.
Cold weather deters a lot of people. Not everyone has a "full on" touring bike with big windshield and massive fairing to ride behind. Memphis Shades is trying to reduce the number of people who need more coverage. They have a new product. You knew I had to get to the pitch sometime huh? Their new detachable fairing is shaped like the traditional H-D batwing and is available with 3 sizes of windscreens. The fairing unit is gloss black and the windscreens are a variety of tints. Easily detachable, and interchangable with Memphis Shades' windshields the fairings offer all the protection of a bat wing. You can see one set up on a Road King Custom in our new bike show room.
There are several other companies that make detachable farings for the Road King. Memphis Shades has gone a little further and offers their Batwing for FL Softails! That is the really exciting part. Now you can have the comfort of a fairing on your Fatboy, Heritage, or Deluxe when you need it, and the clean look of the stock bike when you want it. Stop by and take a look at the Road King Classic in our show room and ask one of our parts professionals how you can get the comfort and convenience of the Memphis shade detachable fairing.

Custom Coverage and You
The traffic is stacking up on 395 north as it does everyday about this time. I start thinking that lane splitting in Nevada would be a great idea. It worked so well for me in Kali. Then I remembered all the near misses I have had when I was staying in my own lane, and most of those were when I was in my truck. Now I am thinking that bikes should have their own elevated lane, or if that is too expensive maybe a rocket launcher. Just a thought.
If you had purchased a new Harley-Davidson from us in the last 60 days, and had our service department install a Genuine H-D rocket launcher, you could get that launcher covered under warranty for the remainder of your new bike warranty!! That would include the labor also. Now we are talking customer care. Now we are talking Custom Coverage Program.
Harley-Davidson does not make a rocket launcher (more the pity on occassion), but they do make hundreds of other parts and accessories that can be covered under a special warranty program known as Custom Coverage. When you buy a new bike, any qualifying parts or accessories you buy from, and have installed by the selling dealer within 60 days, can be covered for the remainder of your new bike warranty. Normal parts and accessory warranty is 90 days ( electrical parts 30 days). Under the Custom Coverage Program you can extend that coverage for up to 24 months. Stop in at the dealership and see me in the Design Center for more details.
