Default jp cycles......

Hey does or did anyone on here feel like the techs at jp cycles were their new best friend when they first got their harley? I find myself chatting with these guys at least 3 times a week either with tech questions about parts or figuring out they sent the wrong parts This sh%% is bananas

My brother just had a bad experience with them, ordered new brake line for his 48 with all the fittings and paid for rush shipping it shows up with just the brake line and no fittings. Now its 2 days later still can't ride ended up finding fittings local. I for sure won't order a thing from them.

I had a issue with one of their cheap azz speedo drives, but other than that they are a first class operation.

I have checked many items at JP over the years, always higher prices at JP. They seem like a good outfit, but not competitive on pricing.

Same thing here. Excellent customer service/very knowledgable staff, but their prices are always more than everyone else's. A little disappointing.

You're here, so I guess you've figured out how to use the internet. Next step is to learn to Google any and everything you're interested in, either by manufacture, p/n, description, etc. I can usually find alternate, CHEAPER sources for almost anything listed in JP Cycles catalog in seconds.

Gold Club Member (got the $2.00 wall clock to prove it !). I have had good luck with J&P, but I always price shop: Dennis Kirk is usually lower. Had occasions though where I needed lots of little stuff and was able to place a single order with J&P rather than 5 orders with other suppliers with the additional shipping.

Shop around, LOTS of decent suppliers out there, but always check the availability and shipping. Just my .02
