Default Discounted HD parts?

Tried to place an order with Surdyke, can't do outside their dealer area anymore.
Any other dealers out there selling parts at a discount?

this has been discussed ad nauseam, the MOCO cracked down on dealerships selling parts and accessories outside of their geographic area, it's pretty shitty, but I expect no less from the mothership

I do allot of wrenching on HD's and used to try and use factory parts when ever possible! since the moco pulled this stunt I go out of my way to use aftermarket parts and have been pleasantly surprised to find in most cases the aftermarket parts are of better quality and much cheaper!!!

I do my own work to.
Got a new to me ride so I'm looking for service and parts manuals, I have a Clymer for one bike and HD for another, I like the HD a little better.
But on parts I try to use HD, never had a problem with one.
Now pegs, bags etc I like HD or Kuryakyn.

It sometimes helps at the local dealer if you can put in a decent size order rather than make many trips. Might be good for 5-10%, doesn’t hurt to ask. Especially if you’re somewhere within a reasonable drive to another dealer.

The dealership online discount store dream is dead unfortunately. ebay and fb marketplace are about it now.

MOst dealers give a 10% Veteran discount if that would apply to you.

my dealer even did away with that.... needless to say, i buy a lot fewer parts now than i used to.

i'm learning to be happier with what i got, vs what i want. eg. i really wanted to upgrade to the cvo gauges. i'm sticking with the stock gauges unless i can find a killer discount/used set.
