RE: J&P Cycle
Some of their prices are great. Others are high. I compare them, Jireh, CHD and M&M all the time. M&M gives the best customer service period.
One other note - if you use a Debit Visa/mastercard, J&P does NOT process it as a credit transaction - even though they don't tell you this. This is an absolute fact. There are several results.
1) You may have a lower limit that applies to these transactions so your order could get held up.
2) If you are expecting "points" from Visa transactions you won't get them.
3) If you normally get an extra warranty period you won't get that.
These days if I have to, I'll use JP. Otherwise because of the above I don't use them nearly as much anymore.

JP cycles
I don't know about the rest of you, but I wouldn't recommend JP to anyone. I bought a couple of thousand of dollars worth of stuff from them and ran into problems with the Primo Belt drive for my 97 FLHTC, no one seemed to be able to anwer the questions about the problems I was having due to shimming. One of their most touted "techs" even told me to shim my transmission, how I was to do that and keep the bolt holes in the engine to transmission in line I haven't figured out yet. I asked if I could send it back, and was told flatly if it was on the bike it's yours, still no explanation of how anyone is to tell it was defective until it is on the bike, again I'll never know and neither did the fine gentleman that I was talking to, basically, tough sh__. I worked out the problems with the belt drive with the man from Primo, even with him, it took weeks to straighten it all out, which included taking the outer primary off painting the inside black putting it back on starting the bike and taking the primary back off to see where the belt rubs, outer primary gotta be a pound or two lighter now. It was not the simple maybe, you might have to grind here advertised by J&P and Primo, at least the man at Primo owned up to that it is not unheard of on my bike. I use Dennis Kirk first now and compare prices with J&P, will use them only and only if I have to and am desparate. One more thing, the tool that they send you to lock the engine and trans down to tighten things up, needs extensive modification to it also, there are two of them, I know that, and neither worked. The man from Primo sent me one, then the other one, then a third one which I kept and just modified it, tired of screwing around with idiots.
