    2006 Harley-Davidson® VRSCD Night Rod™
    What it has always been is a sleek, fast machine with a big hunger for straightaway acceleration. The reason is easy to see. It’s right there at the center. A liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 60° V-Twin Revolution® powertrain. Dual overhead cams. Four-valve heads. Two aggressive-breathing velocity stacks housed in a massive air box. Wind the engine up to the redline and make short work of the next quarter mile and beyond. The rigid, hydro-formed frame puts all that power to thrilling use. We wanted stopping to be equally exhilarating as going. All VRSC bikes are now fitted with performance 4-piston caliper Brembo® brakes. With all these goodies to play with, we took the most award-winning Harley-Davidson® motorcycle down some new roads. No matter how you like to ride, with the additions of the Night Rod™ and Street Rod™ models, now there’s a VRSC bike that fits your style. But that’s not all that’s new for 2006. There’s also a 240mm rear tire kit available in late 2005 through Genuine Motor Parts and Accessories. Scorching asphalt has never been so much fun.

    If you like lean, low and raw, there’s plenty here. This new hot rod-inspired motorcycle is built around the big power of the Revolution® engine. Mid-mount controls. Straight-shot mufflers. Low-rise bars. What better way to put 120 horses through the paces. New seat. Highway pegs. Long hauls feel more like quick jaunts. Check out the Black Denim paint option. Color-matched speed screen visor. Blacked-out engine. Or the beautiful black and chrome engine covers option you see here. Brembo® brakes. New Slotted Aluminum Disc wheels or a Black Staggered 10-Spoke wheel option. A 180mm rear tire grounds the look. It’d be a sin to leave this much rubber standing still.

    From the Sales Floor

    April was a great month at Republic Harley-Davidson and May is looking to be even better. We have received over 100 new Harleys in the last 30 days and while other dealer inventories may be getting thin, we still have an outstanding selection of new and used models.

    How about a new Fatboy in green and black or a Deluxe in the new orange and purple. The last “Screamin Eagle” Ultra just hit the back door and I know it won’t last long! Mid-May will see a Black Ultra with a Side Car!

    If you missed our tent sale you lost out on some great food, music and an overall good time. We still have several Sportsters left but many of you took advantage of our 0 down/$99 month pricing during April.

    During May, we may not have as many Sportsters to choose from, but any new XL purchase will include a $500 gift card to be used in any department. Just mention you heard about it in the newsletter!

    As always, Saturday lunch is on me. Hope to see you all in May

    Derek Sanders, Sales Manager

    Thanks for your Support

    Hello everyone,
      Wow! April has been a very busy month for our service department. I hope that even during the peak of our riding season, we have been able to meet the challange of taking care of each and every one of our customers appointments in a reasonable amount of time. We have been working together as a team to make sure the customers experience is the top focus in the service department as well as throughout the entire dealership. We have expanded the service department by knocking out a couple of walls, and we will soon be moving some of the storage to a 12,000 square foot warehouse to give us a little more elbow room to make our work flow smoothly and with the least amount of down time for our service customers.



    We have two technicians attending classes this month and we are extremely proud of the training and recognition we have from our staff. I will be adding another entry level technician this month to bring the total number up to twelve. Out of the twelve technicians, we currently have seven who have reached Master recognition level and two of those have reached the highest recognition level from Harley-Davidson, Master of technology. We will make every effort to meet the changing needs of our business and will be looking ahead to ensure we meet the demands for our service. Thank you for your support and confidence in our service department. It is a great feeling to read all the positive responses in our service questionaires and to see our shop full of your motorcycles for us to service or repair. We have impressed Harley-Davidson dealers around the country with our service sales numbers, but we could not reach those levels without your business. Again, thanks for your support.




    See ya' on the road,
    Donnie "Guru" Malone
    Service Manager

    P.S.-We will be running service specials on all our big bore performance packages for the month of May. If you have a written quote form another dealer we will be glad to try and meet or beat thier prices on any specials. Since the performance packages vary from customer to customer, please come in and see us for a quote designed for your riding style and your motorcycle. We also have some really cool, free tee shirts for our big bore customers. <<- Back to Top ->>


    Congrats, Graduates!

    Congratulations to everyone who completed the Rider’s Edge New Rider Course this past month. As we begin the month of May we are looking forward to teaching several new groups of potential riders.

    Charlene and Tonya will be teaching an All Ladies Class in May on Mothers Day weekend. The response was so good for this class that we have added another All Ladies Class scheduled for July 13-16.

    The month of May is going to be a busy one for Rider’s Edge. Our classes are full for May’s New Rider Course but there is still a few openings left in our Skilled Rider Course taking place on Saturday, May 13th.
    With the price of gas going up and the weather being great there will be a high demand for riding classes, so don’t wait to call to get in a class you want.

    May's News...

    Wow, we almost sold out of tires! But not to worry we have plenty of tires coming in and stock is good again. You might not get the free installation, but all our Harley-Davidson Dunlop tires are only $98 each as before. So you can still get the cheapest tires around right here at Republic Harley-Davidson.

    Thank you to everyone who came out and supported us during April and especially to all of you who came out to our Tent Sale. There were some real bargains to be had. For the month of May we have D&D Fatcat exhaust pipes for Softails only $449.95! That’s $150 off regular price! These are high quality pipes and this price will only last until we are out of stock so get them quick!

    The parts Department would like to welcome Matthew Mishler to our crew. Matthew has immersed himself into the Harley lifestyle in a very short time. He grew up in a family of Harley riders and he is working on getting another Harley-Davison as I am writing this. Feel free to come by and say hi, Matthew is a super nice guy who wants to help you turn your bike into an extension of your personality. If you need an accessory he is the man to talk to. Have a great month and don’t forget to stop by your favorite Parts Department! Keep Riding…

    To those who don’t know yet, the Parts Manager is now the Motorclothes Manager too. That’s right I have taken over the Merchandise Department and my first order of business was to get more stock in here. We have loads of merchandise coming in to give you a better selection. T-shirts, boots, jackets, helmets and whatever else I could get my hands on. It is all coming in slowly, but I hope to have a great selection available before mid month so if you ever had a reason to stop by, now is the time! Come by and ask the associates to show you what is new. We are very excited and you will be too when you see what we have available. See you here!

    $37,900.00, Command more than just modern performance and design. Insure integrity and prestige with a hand crafted Blackhawk 240.

    The 38 Degree Raked Frame, a sleek stretched tank, the 240 wide rear tire, a Massive 103B'' H-D Screamin' Eagle Engine, Billet Custom Wheels, and Custom Paint transform this machine into an elite display of power.

    2005 Thunder Mountain Custom Cycles Blackhawk 240

    $38,900.00, Command more than just modern performance and design. Insure integrity and prestige with a hand crafted Blackhawk 240.

    2005 Harley-Davidson® FXDL/FXDLI Dyna Low Rider®

    $13,295.00, 1,300 miles, The Low Rider® model takes to the street as long, low and restless as ever. The profile is unmistakable, beginning up front with the raked-out fork, low-rise pullback handlebar and stretched tank. Downward and to the back, there are frame-mounted highway pegs, mid-mounted foot controls and a fat 150mm rear tire. Of course there’s the lowered suspension and low-slung seat. Those who like things on the low side will be riding just over 25'' off the pavement and grinning ear to ear. That’s because everything about this riding position feels good. So it was only right that we give it the internal combustion to match. The Low Rider rides high on power with a wrinkle black and chrome Twin Cam 88® engine, in carb or EFI. It’s rubber-mounted, so the only thing about you that will ever be restless is your spirit.
    2002 Harley-Davidson® XL 1200C Sportster® 1200 Custom

    $8,350.00, 1,094 miles, Raw-boned styling housed in a narrow, nimble frame.

    Carrying on a tradition started in 1957, the Sportster family continues its evolution, providing quick, responsive handling, a flat torque curve and raw, racy style.

    This year, all Sportster models receive the popular bullet-style turn signals first introduced in 2000 on the FXSTD. In addition, a more rigid exhaust flange connects the exhaust system to the cylinder heads, providing improved styling and a more durable exhaust system. Finally, a new fuel shut off valve provides a more tactile feel between the on and off setting, and enhanced styling.

    The Sportster 883, 883 Hugger® and Sportster 1200 continue to bring new riders into the sport, and introducing them to the world of Harley-Davidson by combining fun and value. The XL Sportster 883 Custom returns with forward foot controls, custom handlebar risers and a sporty two-up seat.

    2003 Harley-Davidson® XL 1200S Sportster® 1200 Sport

    $6,995.00, 8,384 miles, 100th Anniversary XL 1200S Sportster® 1200 Sport

    Cast your eyes on the 1200S Sport, and you see everything the last half century of Sportster® has promised. And more. Front and center, you'll notice the Anniversary styling. There's a 3-D 100TH Anniversary cloisonné emblem and nameplate. We added newly styled mirrors. And a new chrome exhaust to go with the black and silver theme. The Sport's calling card has always been performance. It gets extra go via a 1200cc Evolution® engine. Dual-spark ignition, high-compression heads and hot cams. Sticky sport tires. Adjustable cartridge-type forks. Rear adjustable gas reservoir shocks. We top it off with a tachometer, aka the fun meter. Just twist the throttle and see for yourself.

    2003 Harley-Davidson® VRSCA V-Rod®

    $14,995.00, 14,744 miles, 100th Anniversary VRSCA V-Rod®

    A truly original, technologically masterful machine that combines raw performance and long, low, hot rod styling. It's built around the race-inspired Revolution™ engine. A high-revving, liquid-cooled, 115-hp, 60°, 1130cc, fuel-injected V-Twin marvel that puts the power in powertrain. We showcase this mechanical wonder in a hydro-formed perimeter frame. Then we rubber-mount and counterbalance it for a smooth ride. Part of the trademark of the V-Rod® is the styling of the aluminum bodywork. It pushes the look of the fenders, air box cover and dual scoop radiator cover. A factory security system is now standard. We're sure no explanation why is needed.

    * MSRP may not reflect vehicle shown. See Additional Features for specific color/option pricing.

    2005 Harley-Davidson® VRSCB V-Rod®

    $15,885.00, 3,502 miles, The VRSCB model starts with the idea that with 115 horses running directly beneath your saddle, you don’t need much more. So we left the muscle intact and turned the brightness down. You get the same genetics that make a V-Rod® a V-Rod. Aluminum body. 49mm 38° raked fork. 180mm rear tire. The effect of all the shine getting stripped down is an even more raw, aggressive nature. Black calipers. Black brake lines. Black hand controls. Black rear shock springs. And an all-black hydro-formed frame. For 2005, there are five colors and a new, brighter reflector optics headlight to offset all the blackness. The liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 60° V-Twin Revolution® engine with EFI delivers all those stampeding horses. So as the style goes minimalist, the off-the-line power most definitely does not.
    2006 Harley-Davidson® VRXSE Screamin' Eagle® V-Rod® Destroyer™

    Maybe you got fired up when Andrew Hines' V-Rod® set the NHRA Pro-Stock Motorcycle record with a 6.991 (ET) quarter mile. Maybe you like the smell of blue smoke and testing your reflexes as the Christmas tree lights go green. Whatever it is that motivates you to the drag strip, we've got just the machine for you.

    The VRXSE Screamin' Eagle® Destroyer™ is H-D's first out-of-the-box, drag racing motorcycle. Based on the VRSC™ family and tuned by Custom Vehicle Operations, this bike can do a quarter mile run in under 10 seconds.

    A limited quantity of VRXSE Screamin' Eagle® Destroyer™ models will be produced. Contact your local Harley-Davidson dealer for a chance to be one of the first to own this limited quantity machine.

    2006 Harley-Davidson® FXDI35 35th Anniversary Super Glide®

    Descended from the original factory customs, the Dyna™ series lives at the crossroads of style and performance. Born of an undying urge to chase far-flung horizons. This year, the family gets a wheel-to-wheel redesign. One look and you see the machine is substantial in every detail. From the mass of the 49 mm raked forks to the muscular 160mm rubber in back. On top of the new tough look, you’ll notice performance upgrades, too. Beginning with a whole new gearbox. The all-new 6-speed Cruise Drive™ transmission is ready to kick its legs out on the open road. The clutch takes less effort to pull, making all six gears even more satisfying. A new frame, new 1" front and rear axles, and a wide swingarm make handling tighter than ever. Also for 2006, you’ll find all Dyna 1450cc Big Twins equipped with consistently smooth-operating Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) standard for the first time ever. You might find it hard to believe, but we did all this without compromising affordability. No one but Harley-Davidson® could ever take the factory custom to a place this good.

    When Willie G. Davidson’s Super Glide® rolled off the line in 1971, you could see it was different. Fat rear tire beneath a boattail fender. Narrow front end. Big Twin engine in the center. Gleaming red, white and blue paint on a one-of-a-kind shape. Thirty-five years later, The Motor Company announces the Anniversary Edition of the Super Glide®. Wide handlebars Fat Bob™ fuel tank with dual caps. Loads of chrome parts. The famed #1 logo emblazoned on the tank, just as it was on the first model. Even the paint scheme does the original machine proud. Each of these limited-production bikes is individually numbered. Don’t wait another 35 years to get yours.

    2006 Harley-Davidson® FLHT/FLHTI Electra Glide® Standard

    As anyone who’s ridden one will tell you, a Harley-Davidson® touring rig always makes the road good. This year, it makes the road even better. All models get a reduced-effort clutch, a 50-amp charging system and more passenger room. And for the first time ever, H-D® custom paint is available on select touring bikes. Stunning new color combos are sure to treat the eyes right. For 2006, the ears are in for a special treat, too. On all radio-equipped models, riders will be greeted with a new Advanced Audio System by Harman/Kardon® designed to Harley-Davidson specifications. New speakers, AM/FM/WB/CD/MP3 and up to 80 watts of power. It’s sound you’ve never before heard on a motorcycle. What’s more, it offers greater versatility than most car audio systems. Through Genuine Motor Parts and Accessories, you can add XM satellite radio, a 160-watt amplifier, and even a CB radio. All can be integrated right into the stereo. So what’s holding you back? There’s an entire continent out there waiting to be explored.

    If you’re one who appreciates the simple pleasures in life like open road and wind, the Electra Glide® Standard could be for you. Settle into the plush seat. Rest your boots on the generous footboards. Fire up the isolation-mounted Twin Cam 88® engine. And take a deep breath of freedom. You’ll feel there’s nothing else you could ever want. But that’s never stopped us from giving you more. Like an air-adjustable suspension, triple-disc brakes, lockable hardbags and new paint colors to choose from. The Standard is also the perfect canvas for Genuine Motor Parts and Accessories. For those who believe making a good thing even better is another of life’s simple pleasures.
