I understand how the Motor Company wants to make more profit and keep all sales in the stores like Motorcraft did 20 years ago, but requiring registration for parts working on a bike is just plain crazy or is it just that one dealer....
What next, HD is going after all the aftermarket suppliers for copy right infringement. You would think that they would learn from past experience like the S&S deal or the potato potato exhaust sound........

It seems that some dealers are working towards helping out, and others are scared to have issues with big brother...

They told me the "prices" will be the same. They don't really refer to them as discounts. That's just what they sell them for.

I imagine the way HD is going they will do whatever they can get away with. It's a struggle to satisfy the stock holders and even though it sounds bad that is the way things move now days once a company goes public.

However there is a limit to what they can shove down a customer's throat. There are some metrics that are some pretty good cruiser bikes. I personally love the Kawa Nomad my stepson has. HD may find they can push their weight only so far before it comes back to bite them.

I have been looking for an Isolated Drive System for a while, looking to see who had it the cheapest, but it has been too expenisive. When I checked New Castle, the price was even better than Zanotti's. I found it for more than 60% off the catalogue price ($309.95) , I got it for $103 + $20 for shipping. I think you just have to research the different places to see who has the cheapest price with shipping included.

Back when I bought my HD oil cooler, it was $300 plus tax local. I bought it at Zanottis for $230 plus a reasonable shipping.

Also very close to the prices that Zanottis and NewCastle offer are

Ronnie's HD and Lakeshore HD.
