Good thinking!

And there just might be a HD dealer a little further away who would give you a break. Good luck.

Might be White Mountain HD in North Conway NH. It is not much more than a garage and shed. It is owned by Laconia Harley and does not have a web site.

Small town dealer. Jim's Harley Davidson, Mendon, Ohio. Population of Mendon is about 700. Not sure how the building compares now but it used to be little more than a garage until the required upsizing.
Good luck on your ride.
Have you ever worked with Paul Chavarria? Production guy out of NYC.

Harry J. Wilkins in Barre, VT. Were talkin 1988. The place was next to impossible to find. I had a slow leak in the rear tire of an 85 FXRS from a nail on the return leg of a Canada run and found this place thru the HOG handbook. They were selling bikes and service thru a 2 car garage and a shed. They fixed the flat and the wife and I were brought to a coin operated laundry to wash our clothes by a daughter, I believe. She picked us up. And the tire was fixed. Apparently he hit it big in Vegas a few years later and became Green Mountain Harley. Good people and a pisser of a time. Harry was a character and signed our shirts. He's gone now.

I'd have to agree with two of the other good folks on here.....and start at "The Harley-Davidson Shop", Big Springs, TX. I've been to a lot of dealerships and never yet to one as small as this one.......And as previously stated "some darn good people".
