Other day I'm looking through my J&P catalog and saw some interesting HD branded caliper inserts. Went to the J&P ordering page and tried the PN, returned an error stating they do not sell HD branded parts. But they show them in their catalog. Same thing applied to every other HD part I tried.

Was there a deal between HD and J&P that went south at some point after the catalog was printed? If so, wondering what it was. HD setting prices, protecting their margins at the expense of online retailors?

(Wound up getting plain chrome caliper inserts for less than half the HD branded ones...)

 

That would be my guess.

 

Just call them and ask if U really want to know....we'd be guessing here...

 

hmmmm....they used to. Must have stopped

 

Yeah I thought they had a deal set up through their local HD distributor to either have the HD items on hand, or drop shipped. Would be interested find out.....

 

I know that I have looked around for different HD stuff and it all seems to be the same price on line or in the store unless you find it on sale
