I don't know how much this will hurt Harley, as much as a lot of folks have been complaining about the way MOCO has been doing business the last few years, they actually have been doing a pretty good job. They just may know what they are doing. That doesn't mean I like it, but it might be right for the company at the moment.

Yeah they could also afford a BMW, or Audi, or Lexus, and that is probably where they went.

I don't see anything good coming out of this policy change, except for the HD Dealers. Folks like M&M (where the email came from that I posted) have likely done a LOT of HD sales and businesses like this are going to be hurt... Heck, these folks have supported their families selling HD parts at a discount and likely put them through school, etc. Next HD will probably make another policy change that no HD Dealer can sell on Ebay OR the internet with discounted prices. That's what I think is likely to happen AND I think it'll really hurt them, yet help increase aftermarket sales by other suppliers...

I don't buy many OEM or after market HD parts already because of the cost, this policy will just keep sending me else where. If I can only get it from HD, I won't have much of a choice, otherwise, it really won't affect me much.

Don't they have used bikes in Australia?
If people will buy them at that price then HD will sell them at that price.
I'm sure you like to get paid as much as possible for your work.

If any of our Canadian Brothers need a part bought/shipped to them I would be glad to order from Zanotti's and ship it to you afterwards. Just shoot me a PM.
I have ZERO interest in making anything for doing this, it just seems like the right thing to do.
If you think I am trying to scam you, don't bother contacting me. If you need help getting a part and have faith that there are still good people in the world I'd be glad to help you out. "As long as it doesn't get out of hand of course."

Everything I have wanted to buy at a dealership has been to be ordered
Dealer is keeping stock low to avoid inventory taxes.
Principle really doesn't care if customer has to wait.
GM told me 6 months ago that the moco was going after online genuine parts and dealers that sell online.
