Found the same thing when I bought my 412s earlier this year, I am close enough to J&P to go up to their store, but the price they had on the shocks I was looking at was almost $80 higher than Phat Performance, plus I have to pay tax with J&P.
Never had a problem with Dennis Kirk, everything is shipped right away, and their prices are good... I'm thinking like the poster above, they deal in enough volume to be able to sell for less then some other places.

When shopping for a new tire last month,
I didn't find much variation among the online stores.
This may sound funny,
but I chose Dennis Kirk because I remember the blonde from their old magazine ads.
She looked similar to Uma Thurman on Kill Bill DVD boxes...

Hey all,
I was looking at buying a new pair of Progressive Suspension shocks, and notice that they are seriously cheaper on Dennis Kirk than anywhere else I've looked. After doing a little more research, this wasn't just the case with the shocks, but exhaust pipes and other accessories as well.
Drag, HD Dealer, and even Progressive Suspension themselves are charging about 30% more...is there a reason why Dennis Kirk is so cheap? How do they get away charging so much less?
Thanks all.

Don't forget about their price match guarantee. Last summer I called about the new LED headlight for my King. Their retail was like $230.00. I gave them a website that was selling them for about $210.00(+ shipping). She looked and said she found someone advertising them for $190.00 and would I like to buy one from them for $180????
I haven't heard of anyone getting one of those at that price.
Needless to say, I was there in 15 minutes with my plastic in hand.....
I've spent a lot of $$$ over the years there.
Quads, Metrics, Dirt Bikes, Jet Ski's, Snowmobiles....They have it covered.

Dennis Kirk is okay, but don't expect them to help you out too much if you have a problem with a product. They sent me the wrong fuel pak for my road glide, and tried to push it off of Vance and Hines before the CEO of VH called them and told them to get their **** straight.

I ordered a battery and it was dented in shipping. No problem return. First and only issue in many years with Kirk. Kirk gave me a choice of money back or new batt. Never had the first prob with Kirk.

I recently did a bunch of upgrades to my bike. I was looking for new biltwell handle bars. I was on amazon.com and the best price was DK. So I started pricing other parts from DK, and sure enough they were cheaper then anyone else on line. So I bought all my parts from them? I'm in Fl, so I always got my parts in 4 days.
And yes they give you free deodorant and a return label.
I would highly recommend buying from them

That is so funny!
I have only picked up parts at their city desk. Once I went there and they handed me a free Schick razor 8-/ .... I thought that was strange, and yet funny.
I do feel lucky I can get stuff 7 days a week, call in an order and pick it up 15 minutes later... Blessing and a curse....
