I'm a blue collar, working class stiff, do all my own service and support all the good the local dealer (Gruene Harley) does on a weekly basis. They spend some heavy coin providing quite a few events and I don't think it's too much to ask by coughing up a few extra bucks for my 5,000 mile service products.
There's a lot of reasons Harley is having financial problems, and people with a death grip on their coin is one of em. In the future, when they're possibly gone, everyone will be like, what happened.

Last summer I was up in Michigan riding, the battery took a ****, and got one at a battery mart for 90 bucks. It lasted all of 9 months, and just recently purchased an OEM Harley battery for $169. I'm still looking for the stash of gold that's got to be part of a battery costing that much.

My last dekka battery from batteries plus worked fine for 7 years and cost half of what HD charges.
I will sometimes pay a little more for for something for the convenience of getting it now, but I own an evo and HD usually doesn't stock the part.
If it is an expensive part I can usually pay for 2 day or overnight shipping and still get it cheaper.

Order your OEM battery straight from DEKA and avoid the HD markup.

Don't ever try to restore or do major repairs on a Japanese or German bike if you can't handle OEM parts prices.
