I laughed hard at the HD finance guy when I bought mine.
I had already been preapproved by my bank, but said I would go with them if they could beat the rate.
Finance guy went to check it out.
Came back with 6.25%...
Told him I'll use my bank, got him beat by over a full %.
HD guy said he could cut .5% off of it, cause I was a good customer (never been there before)
I laughed and handed them a check from my bank.

I should have done that. I had heard with harley you can ONLY finance with them, plus i bought it out of state (PA) so I think that complicated things. I plunked down a grand and figured I would pay it off in a year anyway.

You can finance anything anywhere. Remember I bought 2 HDs in 2009. Financed my ultra in full thru Uma's Credit Union for mad less % rate. Then finance like $3k on her Nightster thru HD. The rate was slightly higher but it didn't matter, the difference was like $60 over the term, which I knew I would pay it off early. I may pay that off this summer...

When I financed my HHR last year... I had state farm bank give me a way low rate with free gap insurance. Told the dealer and they dropped their rate from 6% to 3% to beat SFB. I think most times it also depends on your credit score.
