Since they changed ownership their 20% discount went away. I would guess their online business dropped to the point it wasn't worth keeping it going. My last three orders have been from Kutter but I always check prices (including shipping) between Kutter, Newcastle and Surdyke before ordering. The one thing I've learned about online discounted parts is that you need to be willing to wait a while for your order unless it is very common items.

Kutter is usually the cheapest because of the free shipping over $99. I used to shop lshd1. It's a shame they are out of the business. Bill Sparks was great to deal with.

I do not know if this is true; have been told that Harley is trying to stop the practice of discounting parts on a web site. They don't mind offering clothing sales, just not parts.

I also USED to use LSHD until Bill went off on me

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...ice-great.html

So, if the site is CLOSED - doesn't hurt my feelings a bit - I am betting Bill is happy also.

I have been a very happy Kutter customer for some time

I've been hearing this same thing for about 3 years now. They are all still discounting.


And I'm disappointed about Lake Shore. Always had great dealings with them. Prolly bought around $3k worth of parts over the years. Guess I''ll be price shopping the other three now.
