The one i go to still sales very few non moco products.
But they did just have to rearrange the entire parts dept per mandate from moco.

So it wouldn't surprise me if they made them quit selling non HD brand.

Why bother with the MoCo? You wouldn't buy condoms there, would you LOL?? Try a "drugstore" chain, they're dirt cheap and just as good.

Other than clothes, my dealer sells more non HD products than HD products, including parts. They sell what people want and what works best, HD or not.
Your dealer is full of ****.

I stopped there because I was in the middle of BF and it was the first place I came to that would/should have had them. Next place to pick up a pair is probably about 15 miles up the road.

The dealer here has HJC helmets for sale on the same display counter as the HD helmets. Also, National Cycle windshields in the windshield display.

Even non HD transmission oil which he has put in on the free 1K service when you buy a bike. Can't think of the brand right now.

I think it is more of a dealers choice but I don't think there will be a big amount of merchandise.

Parts wise they have catalogs for parts for other bikes. I was at the counter when a young guy ordered a reed valve for his older 2 cycle dirt bike. I made sense because the closest dealer is at 50 miles away.
