There's maybe false positive news re the IC coming off backorder today: Dealer reports no new BO date. So they said to check back with them on Monday to confirm its status when H-D opens up again. Anybody waiting for one of these on BO know anything different?} |

OK, dealer checked with H-D and confirmed that the IC has finally cleared BO. Hopefully I'll be riding it this weekend. |

OK, dealer checked with H-D and confirmed that the IC has finally cleared BO. After 2 weeks of waiting for the latest dealer to let me know the IC arrived I decided to call and rattle their cage. They told me yesterday that the IC is now on backorder until July 9th. Did anyone actually get an IC after the supposed clearing of back order on June 15th? 1313 |

Easyrider - That is great. Could you talk about your partnership with the US dealer, product availability and such. |

Yes. Do tell, do tell! I just ordered an IC, but haven't heard anything about backorders...yet. Knowing a stocking dealer would be handy artillery. |

Sprintst, We have no central Importer in the USA and the dealers we work with order what hey need and don't stock our parts. That means all USA customers order direct from our website. We are working on a solution for this in the future. |

Evidently the BO on ICs is lifted and dealers can now get them. I'm getting mine replaced finally after waiting since mid-March. 4 months would be a long downtime if this were a critical part where the bike wouldn't run without it but since the dealer offered to let me take the bike while waiting for the part to come in, it wasn't so bad. It's going to be a much more grim situation when/if H-D stops providing Buell parts after 7 yrs. But with enthusiastic aftermarket sources like Twin Motorcycles who offer racing developed parts and solutions for our Buells, maybe it won't be so bad. |

Good to hear about the ICs. My dealer checked on the B.O. status when I ordered mine a little over a week ago and they said there was no problem indicated relating to availability. I guess they were correct, and hopefully mine will arrive shortly, too. |

I got an email from Latus on 7/10 that said they should have my IC in 2-3 days. Super stoked. |

Being new (hence the screen name) what about all these IC's is failing, and what may I expect? (2009 R) |

In my case, mine died from exterior causes, not within. The IC didn't die on its own! It had help. I can't speak for others, but I believe some had current drain issues killing their battery that was linked to the rev of the IC...or something like that. |

The original IC on the 08 models had a parasitic drain. Mine was replaced due to that issue, a few years ago. Several months ago, my tach wigged out and pointed down. lol. It eventually did a full circle, but now it usually points at 0 when the bike is idling. |
