Heyhey
I just got myself a first Harley ( Iron 883 2017 ) , so far I love it .

Im just having trouble finding decent price for parts online in canada .
I am currently looking for 14'' ape hangers & the longer wiring (brake clutch ..)

My question is where do you guys get your custom parts , and if it is from the USA do you guys pay alot of TAX and shipping ?

 

Welcome to the forum.
I buy a lot of things from Amazon and occasionally from ebay. There is an endless lists of places to buy parts from online. Do a little research with your model/year, it will pull up many options.

 

I use M&M Cycle for all my aftermarket needs. They ship internationally.

As far as Amazon goes, their prices change through out the day so keep an eye out for that.

 

Congrats.... my tips:
get a notebook...record everything you do to your bike. repairs, maintenance, accessories, add ons, tires, oil changes, everything. you will appreciate that down the road when you start looking back at what was done when. get factory service manual and the parts manual. two of your most useful tools. I also record every gallon of fuel used. I found an app for my S-7 and use that for my bike and van.
and if you have little experience, take a riders safety course.

 

American companies don't include tax, unless they have a store in your state. You are supposed to declare it on your taxes if out of state. Many don't. Shipping isn't alot, if you shop around.




First thing you should buy is factory service manual.

 

I also recommend getting a service manual for your particular model bike; it will pay off dividends down the road.

As previously mentioned, Ebay has a lot of parts and most have free shipping. Although, I'm not sure if being in CA it will still include free shipping.

 

Thanks all

I think they gave me the service manual when I bought my harley at the Harley shop .

 

You think? Can't miss it, it's the size of a telephone book. I'd be very surprised if they gave you a free service manual. I think you are referring to the owners manual
