Chicago HD gives you an automatic 20% discount, all you need is the part number. I don't buy much of the other stuff. I have two jackets, one is a synthetic from the dealer and one is leather from Kohl's.

Give Zanotti a shot. You'll need your part numbers. I haven't found anyone priced better. Surdyke is another good place for parts but 9 times out of 10 Zanotti beats them.

The above mentioned are good from what others say.

I also use Hales harley davidson in ohio as they give 20% off internet and i can pick the option to pick it up at the store.

I also use eastern performance for alot of aftermarket.

and a big majority of stuff has actually come from members of this site that i have bought and other website forums and craigslist and few ebay items.

+ 1 on the Eastern Performance. I've had real good experiences with them on aftermarket stuff. I even use J&P Cycles once in awhile.

our dealer INDY North where I got our bike still gives 15% as long as we stay current on HOG. But a closer dealer that just changed owner last year only gives 10% if U buy there, used to be 10% HOG members..

Tires I got this yr form Dennis Kirk....and like them...

I've found that Fox Creek Leather has the best leather products around. I own two of their jackets, chaps, gloves, etc. They are a US company and their quality is second to none.

I initially started buying from New Roc Harley in New York. Their prices were as good as any. Unfortunately, their service leaves a lot to be desired. They failed to charge me for items they've shipped and charge me for items I never received. There was also a case of shipping me the wrong oil filter. The most frustration thing was, they are very difficult to get return phone calls or follow-up on some information requests.

For Harley brand parts and accessories I support the dealers that I like in my area. They will have 20% off sales a few times a year.
For aftermarket I shop around. The JC Whitney warehouse is only 30 miles from home, so I can go there and check things out.
If I'm comparing price I check J&P cycles, Dennis Kirk, E-Bay, Amazon and whoever comes up on Google searches.
