Default Harley dealer's a ripoff...

I have some new Ride Wright wheels coming in a few weeks and stopped by the local Harley dealer to ask how how they would charge to pull the wheels off my bike and put the rotors, pulley and rubber on the new wheels...and then mount and balance.

They said $360!! No way...so I started thinking that I would just pull the wheels myself and switch everything but the rubber and just let them do that.

Then, just for sh*ts and giggles, I went around the corner to the sportbike and polaris dealer and they said they would do everything I ask the Harley dealer to do for $130.

I will never bring my bike to a Harley dealer unless it is just warranty work.

The HD dealer is always a rip. I don't think I have ever bought a part or anything through them

I use Cycle Gear for my tire change and balance.
Buy my tires online.
Add both up and there is a big difference.
Why do you think they are called "stealers".

They have a lock and loyal following but the smart money looks around...
