No jackets or helmets from a HD dealer anywhere in So Cal. I'd bet on that. At best a couple of t-shirts and some lovely parting gifts.

As for the best pricing for new in So Cal it's L.A. H-D in Paramount or Westminster HD.

I've bought 3 HD's since Feb 05 (2 for me and helped a buddy get his) and without a doubt these 2 dealers will be hard to beat.

If you have any questions feel free to email or PM me. I'd be happy to help.

Seriously. Check ebay for some deals, but make sure you do your homework when buying. I got a real nice Road King on ebay. There are scams, so be careful.


Oh, and what part of socal?

high desert here.

Hey thanks for the reply's figured my dream of a deal was a dream indeed. But oh well.

Never paid MSRP for anything before, so that's a shocker. Had a metric bike in the 80's, 90's which set me back $1350 New (2 year left over) so again 20k ...shocker. Have been watching the Harley market for several years, so I guess it can't be too much of a shock.

Cheers,
Don

Oh, someone asked where from....Huntington Beach
