I herd that was happening last week. I've been to the Lake City location a few times and found friendly customer service and once they said they would call me back and they actually did.
University has a CB900F on their used bikes page, wonder if they still have it and if they'd let it go for a steel.

I wonder if this is the tip of the iceberg. I heard that HD was experiencing a significant downturn in its sales....perhaps we'll see some HD dealers closing down too.
