And a heads up to Canadians with US shipping addresses- I was just told by my US discount HD dealer that they can no longer ship to these shipping places that provide us with US addresses- mine is a brokerage place, but I was told the same goes for a PO box. Apparently HD is auditing the dealers to make sure they aren't helping us back door the "do not sell to Canada" rule.

On the plus side, the Cdn dealer prices are getting somewhat closer to par with US pricing...I guess because our dollar is strong. I priced out an Airwing TP rack, and it was only $26 more in Canada.

 

Just more room for the after market.

 

I got 20% off with lake shore. Bill was a Great guy to deal with over there.

 

Where is NCHD located?

 

Looks like it's HD Hundred Dollars to me!

 

I just ordered stretched bags from Surdyke. Looks like everything's the same with them. I gave my local dealer a chance to match the price they gave me but they declined the offer.

Oh well, they decided it was all or nothing so they got nothing.

 

Interesting to follow two different threads.

This one where people shop out of state to buy their parts cheaper.

And the other one complaining that all their local parts selling dealerships are closing down.

Anybody else see a connection here?

 

I just ordered discounted from http://shop.newcastlehd.com/ now problems

 

The MOCO sends that stupid letter every year and every year things stay the same. Yeah, they might frighten a few dealers, but the dealers still control the price they want to sell for.

You mean the connection where all the shops that are willing to do give a little discount and make it up in volume survive while the price gouging a$$holes lose their shirt. Yeah, I see it! My dealer always gives me some kind of deal, usually what I ask for becasue I don't ask for too much. When I buy something that's a couiple bucks I ask for no favors, if I'm buying high ticket items I usually tell them where I can get it for 20% off and they match that, no questions asked.

 

Same here,but then i do have a few "friends" and know who to ask....
