How much of a discount do you think those indy's really get? I have yet to find one get me cheaper than what I can get by calling my guy at the dealership. Course, he is a friend of mine and I get the friend price and free shipping, and no tax.

I just don't see the uproar. You see all the time on this site "The MOCO needs to do something to keep from going under" but whenever they do something, it turns into a personal slight like you walked in on them gang banging your wife
Dennis Kirk has my stock K591 160/70B17 rear tire for $139.99..Try getting that price at your HD dealer.....That reminds me I have to order my tire now....

Uh... Despite the widespread belief that the Canadian provinces and territories are kinda like extra states we keep in reserve to the north, Canada *is*, in fact, another country.

Will Eastern performance buy them and ship them to you.
My Indy shop said he can git the HD parts and have them delivered to his shop so I don't have to drive 50 miles.
He has ordered HD batteries and everything.

In business there is no right or wrong just business.

The market has been down starting in 06. Dealers have failed. The current surviving ones want policies in their opinoin that will help their ability to make income. Like the dealers that gave 20% discounts just can't advertise. Like not advertizing would increase business at the other dealers. It won't but the dealers felt that it would.

Overseas dealers want their business opportunities protected also. It is only natural. If you owned a dealership your tune would be much different than the ones being posted here.

Don't worry. Someone will find a way to get the parts and get them to the buyers at a price the buyer wants just like booze during prohibition and drugs now.

Get ready for back alley parts pushers.

Supply and demand will trump policies every time.
