Just order from Zanotti. Almost everything there is more than 20% off.

Quit griping???
I'm not griping, I'm informing the Forum of a change and I'd like to know why they cut the discount in half when online competitors like Zanotti, LakeShore and others continue to offer 20% off.

I know but I live in PA, 20 miles from Zanotti so if I order from them, they charge sales tax. Plus even if I pick up my order, they charge shipping!! Thanks but I'll pass.

There's a thread elsewhere on HDF that talks about the Motor Company preventing any dealer from advertising parts price discounts. Perhaps this is a follow-on action.

The Moco is getting tough on it's dealers discounting online & it may come to an end. I heard this from a former dealership owner. We shall see.

Haven't you heard about the recession, and all the dealers going out of business? Cut them some slack. Did you buy your bike from them? If not, why would you expect them to give you a better deal than where you bought it?

If you order on-line and live out off state there is no sales tax. And I'll bet that the 10% discount doesn’t even cover the shipping on many items. So what’s the advantage of ordering from Chicago Harley anymore?

I'm not sure if Harley can do that or not. But none the less, Chicago Harley is still advertising a parts discount; its now 10% instead of 20%.
