Just from an engineering / manufacturing point of view (I'm electrical, so grain of salt here) the cover should be a stamped piece, or maybe even molded - same difference, you make one and then you make 10000. the steering shaft, now that has to be cut, maybe turned, maybe threaded, Someone has to touch each one - that's the part that's going to be as rare as TP (sorry) - Since i got ya, I have put every incentive dollar into dressing my pro-fx out; adventure package and curtis plow. I am coming unglued waiting for it.

Incentive dollats of 500 parts and 500 cash dont go far.

I’ll say this...if my dealer knows anything, he’s done a good job playing it off. I’d say there is someone inside Kawasaki that probably knows more than they are letting out but I wonder how many of us there are that are interested in this? Are there really that many people who are waiting in line to buy a Mule? From what I’ve read on here,the majority of us on this forum are ones who have bought one and waiting for it or have a deposit on one. Are there that many people in the same boat?

I stopped at my dealer last tuesday. They informed me that their Kawasaki rep contacted them to verify how many they still had on hold via 500  $  deposit.  I assume this is to make sure just enough kits go to each dealer to get those units out the door.      But yes y such a secret?  Virus is not helping im sure at this point . But in Jan/Feb it was different reasons.   So your alls guess as to hush hush is as good as mine.

Let's make that a large grain of salt. Lol! I spoke with Kawasaki customer service today (April 30). They told me my dealer "should" receive parts in a couple of weeks.

 large grains.   Its anyones guess . Way to many variables

I stopped at my Iowa dealer today.  They have 5 mules spoken for via deposit.  Sounds like they are hoping to  get 5 repair kits mid April.  Kawai called and asked how many they still had spoken for.  But as for the rest of the inventory who knows.  . Thats from sales staff.   Take with a grain of salt at this point.  I dont think anyone really knows.  Anyone will say anything positive about parts arrival to help avoid the loss of sale.   

Iowa.    Still open just waiting 

Waiting since Jan. Another month due to covid is not a big deal.   Besides.  I dont need anymore bills right now anyway.

Spoke with customer service today who had absolutely no useful update or timeline and said they would call back at the end of March?.??!!  Only thing I was told was both stop sales are still in effect.  I had to tell a local dealer about the 2nd stop sale.  I am beginning to think I need to look for something else.  

Something else yes.   However.   What kind of rebates and sales tactics will they offer once this gets better.  ?   My dealer is down 2800 from advertised price and also is giving me any further incentives that kawai may offer.   But yes im tired of waiting. Snow is gone here in iowa and we are ready to play

The Kawasaki sales rep still states that Kawasaki is just waiting on the Feds to approve their recall, but the one we purchased in December is still sitting at the dealership unable to be released. Supposedly Kawasaki is going to provide a cash rebate to the customer for ones that were purchased but unable to be delivered to the customer. That does nothing for the warranty months expiring since purchased though without possession, or interest or payments made for them sitting at the dealership.

Our dealer said they were unable to sell.  Warranty can not start while sale hold is active. They said.  We gave 500 to hold that particular one.
