Default after market sites

Pretty much set on FLHTCU. Been to JP Cycles, Kuryakyn, cruiser customizing, etc. all the bigger well known sites. What are some other not as well known sites y'all have come across that really did it for you.
Thanks

work it backwards- look at bikes you like, then determine the parts used.
the christmas catalog approach can get you a whole bunch of trinkets that may not "work" together

some vendors specialize in bolt on chrome gee-gaws. not my approach


drag specialties is a long standing catalog house, custom chrome too

J&P will be priced higher than just about any other place....at least in my experience....it is a nice place to go to for their open house though, get a lot of good info from the vendors on site. i've had a lot of luck researching/asking what parts will be needed and finding reputable sellers (like eastern performance) on eBay for the parts.

I try to buy everything from my local independent shop Murrys cycles. He has a website and an eBay store. Very competitive prices pretty much will match any price. Just my 2 cents

Do NOT NOT NOT use Ridebikegear.com

Im battling with them over Bags they shipped me being damaged. They are saying they shipped a new set but would show me a tracking number. These guys are scamming people fairly often it seems.

I get a lot of stuff off Ebay. Ebay will also let you know if they have had problems with a vendor. I also look for a brand name product like Klock or Vance and Vines that I buy through an online vendor. HD branded items I'll get through Kutter online.

This Forum has also helped me select a reputable seller.

thanks for the suggestions.
I did ride out on a new Ultra. Kinda thought JP Cycles were a bit much.
gonna be a little longer than I thought getting my stage 1. I read great reviews of Fuel Moto for the tuner.
this is my first HD. rode metrics all my life. 2 months ago if someone would have given me on a Harley I would have sold it for something that ran. And that was my manta. this Ultra is the best bike I have ever ridden.
Will talk to guys about local shops specializing in HD.
ride fast take chances
