My first Harley
Hello all, i just purchase my first Harley a 99 fatboy. I'm looking to do a few upgrades and im wondering where does everyone buy their oem and aftermarket parts from ? I'm new to the Harley Davidson scene and would like to deal with reputable suppliers. Thanks in advanced Henry

Plenty of good ones out there. I've recently purchased from Dennis Kirk and J&P Cycles. Both have been quick and helpful on the phone when I'm trying to figure out which part fits my bike. Dennis Kirk lets you search for parts for your specific model and year. I think J&P is putting the same thing up soon.

Don't forget eBay - tons of good stuff out there. Especially if you want to swap with take off parts from another bike. As an example I just put a Night Train air cleaner cover on my FatBoy and got it on eBay for like 25 bucks...if not there then I agree with everyone else J&P and Dennis Kirk. If you want genuine Harley stuff - Latus Harley has an online store....good luck....welcome to your new addiction....

Welcome to the forum...2 things
1) we need a pic of you bike :P
2) as you are noticing there are a ton of good places to buy from...my advice is research the different pieces you are thinking of changing, see what options are out there and what they look like. Ask a few questions here in the forum....then once you have picked what you want go out and research the best place to get it at, at the best price. Not every good place has everything, and not always at the best price. The forum has a sticky thread with the places not to buy from, which should help you avoid the not so reputable resellers.
Other than that have fun, enjoy your new toy, and just tell the wifey that its a fad, and would never replace her...and then come on here and tell us how much you love your bike and you wished the OL was more like your HD LOL
