Default What if we all said no to HD?

So my aunt and uncle got a new scoot,so I got them shirts for x mas my mom wanted a belt (for pants,not pulleys)and the old man wanted heated grips. Now I never go to the harley shop cuz I think the prices are way to high.
Long sleeve shirt (made in china) $37
Womens t shirt (made in china) $40
Womens belt (made in china) $60
Heated grips hd brand (made in china) $200

This is fu(king ludacris!!! I've had it w/ this no more ever I wonder if we all stayed away/ e mailed these over priced bastered they would get a clue and lower there prices. Gimmie a break I by custom t shirt (lowbrow,biltwell,ledsleds,etc) for 15 bucks. I just can't belive it. I love my Harleys but thats as far as it goes. Everything from now on will be indy only. Sorry for the rant but I feel much better. By the way I didn't buy any of it I hit the budget rack for the t shirts and j&p for the rest

Buy your HD chit on eBay. HD is no different than any other dealer..you pay a premium

I understand the rant...Chinese made stuff with a HD logo for 3X what you'd normally pay for Chinese made stuff. In fact, it's prolly about even in price with other American made products. If they are going to charge a premium price, give us a premium product.

Very true. You can buy harley leather direct from the manufactuer in china for about 100-150. You might wait a while and have to purchase 3 or 4 jackets. BUt its better than 400-500 from a dealer for 1 jacket.

I buy nothing from the MOFOMOCO. I bought a used Harley, service it myself and only buy parts online where I get a discount. As for 'accessories' and clothes, I won't give them a dime. I will not be part of their revenue stream.
