Default Dennis Kirk

Hey all,

I was looking at buying a new pair of Progressive Suspension shocks, and notice that they are seriously cheaper on Dennis Kirk than anywhere else I've looked. After doing a little more research, this wasn't just the case with the shocks, but exhaust pipes and other accessories as well.

Drag, HD Dealer, and even Progressive Suspension themselves are charging about 30% more...is there a reason why Dennis Kirk is so cheap? How do they get away charging so much less?

Thanks all.

My guess is by volume they commit to on an annual basis............I bought my Supertrapp pipes, Progressive 444 and front springs from DK as well as a ton of other stuff for my other bikes.

I get almost all of my parts from DK. They are a great company and I've never had an issue with them. I order my Progressive 412's from them last year.

Yep, Dennis Kirk is where I go for after market parts..They even include a return label and instructions if your not happy. I returned a seat I bought from them a month later and they had no problem with the return.

Actually everyone here on the forum pitched in and called DK to include the deodorant for you.

Dennis Kirk is awesome. I live in Chicago and they are in St. Paul, MN. I usually get my stuff from them in a day or two. Great prices as well.

The Kirk cant be beat and if the item has a problem, simply retun it no problem.
