I've ordered quite a few parts from Jehih. I believe someone posted up that Jerhih is Midwest Motorcycle Supplies online store. They sell to other dealers and then sell their parts at cost thru their store and undercut the dealers. If you do a search you may read about some really unhappy shop owners. On the other hand for people like us who build one off projects it's great to be able to save a few dollars.

Always had a good response from jerhih good luck on your project.

Yes, I am going to steer clear of Demon's Cycle because of the bad experiences of others. Either the transaction goes great, or it doesn't and then it becomes a nightmare. It would be so easy to just do the right thing to begin with, they would probably double their profits.
A friend of mine was majoring in entrepreneurial business in college, and said that positive word of mouth will get to 2 to 10 people, but negative word of mouth will reach more than 200 people. That somehow stuck with me in how I deal with people in general.

I bought an S&S 111 inch back in September when they were on sale.. Going to put it in this month.. At that time both the 111 inch and 124 inch engines were on sale in both Evo and twin cam.. Gotta be a dealer somewhere with an evo 111 inch square engine for sale??

I love my engine, never a problem and I ride hard.
