Just a sign of the times. The dealer network is shrinking in every business. It's always sad to see them close.

I ordered something from there a few days ago and then after I paid the paypal invoice they sent me an email saying the order was cancelled. I emailed them back and they promptly refunded the money.

Bought parts online from them and loved the service and prices. I'm anxiously awaiting word on who may take over their online sales.

I just placed and order. We'll see how long it takes, but they were awesome for both Harley parts and Drag Specialties parts.

That sucks BIG time! I have ordered a bundle of parts from them in the past 18 months, and I was just getting ready to order more from them.

This is going to get interesting: you are going to be mixing politics, black helicopters, emotions, corporate legalities, franchise laws and agreements and much more. I bet Harley and the dealers doing business "by the rules" will win out in this push/shove match. Guys dont look at this at face value, look past the end of you nose and look at the big picture. These dealers selling at discounts are the monsters and they will be slain to allow the others to keep their lights on. Right or wrong? this has been discussed and debated here for years.

When people cant afford MoCo parts they will buy china parts from ebay...wouldnt exactly call that a win for the dealerships.

Anything recreational has a huge mark up, god forbid someone should offer a 20% discount to bring it back to a realistic price point. That 20% comes out of the dealers end anyway.

If the dealerships cost too much to operate maybe they shouldnt be mini Taj Mahals. They are a bit over the top, our BMW dealership here isnt as nice as the local Harley dealer.

Somehow I think Harley is going to make it in the end and I wouldnt call someone offering a small discount a monster.

Just my opinion since we all get one.
