I too buy a lot from Amazon for all those same reasons. I wanted to messenger bag that Harley sells on there on-line site and almost everyone was the same price until I came across House of Harleys they were $35.00 less and they shipped it to me for free. So my on-line Harley buying will be from them. Thanks for all the replies 'm just asking questions I can't find here from search.

Its always been about being a smart consumer, whether you're talking about groceries, clothes, or motorcycles.

Do you bitch about, say phone accessories that cost 2X at the phone store vs Amazon?
Whew!! What a tough answer.
Good thing the OP didn't ask a serious question like; "where to put my gas cap while filling up"...................

I blame Harley big prices on the fact that Harleys now requires the shops be Huge like a car dealership, somebody has to pay that overhead. Gone are those old ,small shops that I miss.

2 day delivery, good prices. Don't have to drive all over the place to shop.
I'm not at 90%, but I do enjoy Amazon's convenient and quick delivery.
