If you can't be bothered with using the search function... there are more threads than you can shake a stick at discussing Demons Cycle and what a piece of **** they are to do business with, including one entitled "DEMONS CYCLE JUNK".

My sig has the Demons WG front end. Looks good. Need to get the wheel on so I can see how the scoot looks on the ground. It has a 3 degree rake. Good price and free shipping.

I had the front end since last year and just put it on a month ago. So if it turns out to be junk it's to late now.

I have so many mods left to do I won't be riding till next season.

Hey man take it easy, we are not all computer gurus around here. And I DID TRY TO SEARCH. Not all of us are naturals when it comes to all this computer crap and we all have a weakness. I just hope someone does not jump your *ss because of something that your not good at.

I've been reading all the Harley forums for many years and while you'll see folks saying, "I bought from Demons with no problems," the general consensus seems to be they don't "deserve" your business.

Check out the below link to toolhous.org. This site culls out an Ebay seller's negs and neutrals from the positives (or else with a high volume dealer like Demons you may not get a clear picture of how they do business.)

http://toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/negs?Use...rn=Received+by

On the other hand because they are such a high volume reseller their prices can be very good. But if you're the kind of person who needs advice after the sale, or if you can't modify a part to fit your bike you're taking a big chance. What they are good for is when you know part numbers, are familiar with the part, and know exactly what you're going to get, and even then you're taking your chances.

Some of the above is true of all high volume resellers, but some of the others do seem to try a bit harder to keep your business. American Classic Motors and Jireh comes to mind, with the best of them, in my opinion being J&P Cycles.

I think most of the front ends Demons sells are from DNA (not sure about the Springer though) and the big knock on them seems to be chrome peeling issues. But since you're going black that may not be a problem.

However, sometimes it's better to pay more upfront from a reputable online reseller or a good local independent shop if you think you'll need to return a part or need some advise down the road.
