I was at the Harley shop yesterday and looked at the price tag of a floor model. On a separate line it said something like "Material Acquisition Fee - $1,499.00" I asked a salesman wth that meant and he said since Harley has to pay a premium for some of the components to build a bike, they are passing the add'l material cost along to the buyer. But since it is a separate line item, it can be adjusted down. Or up. On this particular bike it added ~7 or 8% to the list price. Plus they bumped up the shipping cost by $200. First time that I have seen anything like this.
