Only if you couldn't buy somewhere else. I think they need to be punished.

Glad I ordered my parts from Surdyke instead of Boardtracker, I had heard reports of orders being delayed because of "backorders", I think they have finally been filled. It might actually be a good time to make a purchase, they might be selling pretty cheap to try & raise cash, just be sure you have the bike in hand before handing over any $$.

Well this isn't good, that's Boardtracker. We could lose our 20% off deal on Harley parts!

I placed a few orders with Boardtracker since Christmas. They were very slow to fill the orders. The last order they charged my credit card on January 19th. I emailed a couple times about the delay. They said it was back ordered through the MOCO. I received the order last week. I figured that it's winter and not a big deal for the delay. The orders around Christmas time were delayed and I figured that it was due to the season. And it very well may have been.

I spent $1400 w/Surdyke and they provide excellent service and packaging.

You can't cheat the company that bank rolls your motorcycle financing. That's like robbing a bank with your ID card on your shirt.

The article reads like they auctioned off several new bikes and never paid for them. That sounds like a desperate move to get some cash flow. If this hits the viral status they can kiss their online sales goodbye. No one is going to trust them to deliver on a sale.

I’d steer clear. Who knows what else they’re doing , even to supposedly new bikes.

Hitting boardtracker's online parts section throws an error. Looks like that part of their site has been taken down.
