Hey folks. First post. I needed a transmission clutch release cable cover gasket. I'm changing the clutch cable location on my 89 FXR. I tell about that in the correct area. Anyway I was dreading going in, the dealer has a new counter person who is a bunch younger than I and thinks he knows all about all Harley Davidson's. How do I know this, my last visit for a Shovelhead item, he told me so. He also told me that they did not have the part number I had asked about for my Shovel. Mocking me bye the way. I can't recall the part right now. But I know it was in the area of the stator. So I asked him for the same part, but this time for a 86 Evo. And man did I get it then, He started fussing and cussing under his breath but loud enough for a salesmen who was walking by to hear him. This salesman has been a friend of mine for years. Well he steps in, tells the kid to straighten up and get my stuff and get me out of there.
So today I look at the parts counter and the only person there is the manager. Outstanding, I walk up with the cover in hand tell him what I want. I buy two gaskets, you guys should see my parts inventory. And then had a really nice talk with the manager about his counter boy. He told me he's on the short list. Now that wasn't my intent at all when I brought up the past issue. I just felt a little coaching wold have worked and fixed the problem. I work very hard not to come across as a know it all. But I due prepare when ever I need to buy any type of part. I hate make multiple trips.
I walked out with my new 2013 Harley Davidson Genuine Motor Parts & Accessories catalog. Does anybody else save there catalogs. I have everyone for every year they have sent them out or gave them out. Since the mid 80's something like that. Rambling done. Out to the garage. Ken
