Red Headed Step Child
So the other day I call the local stealer to see if an item is in stock for my Fat Bob and the parts guy says to me " Oh we dont have that because the Fat Bob is a red headed step child of the Dyna line". If that was the case why did they make a CVO model of the Fat Bob. Just thought I would share that with you guys.

The only parts guy I have ever dealt with that I didn't want to climb over the counter and slap the pee out of was fired for making a joke about Obama before he was elected.
Everyone else I've dealt with doesn't know their azz from a windshield wiper.

I've seen this same claim about dyna's altogether when it comes to addon parts. I just don't find that to be the case at all now that I know where to look for parts. And the last place I EVER look for parts is a dealership. I don't even buy their t-shirts anymore. Most dealers have some dyna accessories in stock but never seems to be what I'm looking for. So, if they have to order it for me, I may as well order it myself and save some money in the process, right? I've been in a couple of dealerships that didn't even have a dyna bike in stock, much less decent accessories.

Here is a sad commentary indeed. a guy working for harley davidson puts down one of thier bikes. if i owned that dealership i would string his @ss up. he probably does not even ride a bike as i have found at alot of shops.To save some faith in dealerships, from my travels my friends i ride with love to go get dealership shirts, i do not, i go in and get the dealerships sticker buttons(which some crappy dealerships are doing away with) and put them on my swingarm.. i have visted some crappy, snobby dealerships, but i have also found some that i would go to everyday if i could and were awesome one in particular in clovis, new mexico. so the good dealerships are out there you just have to drive to get to them.
