It's always a shame to see the smaller "mom and pop"-type HD dealers close. I know the dealer where I bought my Train (Hudson County Harley, Jersey City, NJ) was opened in closed in less than 2 years. It's a Gold's Gym now.
What I liked about it was that I could cruise by, pull into the service area and say, "Hey Mike, could you take a quick look at this?... and he would.
When I go to Bergen Harley, which is a gleaming palace of chrome and over-priced t-shirts, one canNOT "just pull up". Appointments, work orders, etc. are required. All very impersonal.
However, $ is $ and in this economy, company's have to do what's best to keep the brand going.

Maybe I will give them a call tomorrow since I ordered the parts late yesterday afternoon.
You're right, that is high for those parts. I wonder if they're shipping them separate rather than as one package? Just for the hell of it I'd asked how many packages they're shipping to you. If it's more than one you might ask if they can combine them to ship as one.

What a bummer to find this thread. I was just going to head up there to get a new tire put on.

OK. We'll stay tuned please let us know the new dealer of choice A.S.A.P. In the interim I'm buying through Dennis Kirk I saved 20% over retail list on a set of Vance and Hines Straight Shots for the Fat Boy. AND NO. I don't work for D.K.
