I just had a talk with the parts manager and sales manager( not at the same time ) last week about getting a discount on parts. They both told me that Harley sent out a letter recently stating that Dealers have to stop selling and shipping parts at a discounted price and can't sell to Indy's out of there area at a discounted price or they risk punishment.
Sounds like BS to me but I do have a good relationship with both of them and find it hard to believe they would lie to me.
That being said, I did get 15% off a Street Stalker fender and mount kit.

Well ... based on this, I just looked at LSHD1 and Surdyke ...
There was a check box to certify that the buyer was going to personally use the items purchased ... so, I guess that would preclude an Indy from buying and reselling ...
But, the discounted prices online did not appear to be any different ... unless they are being phased out ...

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.

They can keep the products from being sold to Indy shops. But, they can't stop the dealers from discounting. There are a few Federal Laws that prohibit those business practices.
I always get a nice discount at my local dealer. They just do it without me asking. I got a 15% discount on a new seat a couple of days ago.

Perhaps if the locals would stop screwing their customers, then they would stay in business...
