Default dealers?

what is with people on this forum calling the dealers STEALERS?.Let me start out that i'm not anyone other than a rider. But what do expect the hd dealers to do give you free service or something? Maybe you all think its easy to run a business, pay your employees ,overhead, maybe even make a profit.I'm sure you take into consideration the initial start up costs of maybe acouple mil. for the building ect... i have had work done at Motorcity hd. farmington mi. and Wolverine hd. in Clinton Twp. Mi. both have done great work, was it exspensive ya maybe but just think before you all critisize the H.D. dealers. Maybe you can just fix your own bike like you can fix your 08 ford , Chrysler or GM. just a thought[&:]

Amen! Nothing wrong with making an honest dollar and charging a fair price. I've been quite pleased with the HD dealers I've done business with.

I agree in most ways. Everytime I needed a part thay have it. Try that with honda or others. The dealers I deal with have very knowlageable staff. Always happy to help or just answer my quiestions. In the past month I have had lots of work done and added lots of things on the bike and have been very happy with there help in getting my parts had to order nothing had it all.
