Can anyone recommend good suppliers in the states to deal with. I know its been mentioned elswhere but cannot seem to find it. I recall Mom&Pop getting a mention, but when I cantacted them re a Kuryakyn Mustache Bar they wanted over $500 US for 2 delivered, but found it on Amazon.com at other suppliers for around $450 AUS delivered for 2. MCAS in Sydney wanted about $340 each plus delivery.
Always used J&P Cycles, they have a web site and online ordering, very reliable no issues ever. Keep it under $1000 and you`ll pay no import tax.
I always at least have a look at the dealers on ebay.com and often buy from those with a good sales record. Never been dudded yet. For all HD stuff, ChicagoHD.com are excellent, 20% off list US price. Keep it just under the grand as mentioned and you won't get GST'd. Even if you did you'd be miles ahead! $450 for 2 sets of bars is a bloody bargain!
Mom & Pop are www.mandmcycles.com/
I used them a couple of times when the Aussie dollar was up there. Had no dramas with them.
Just been ordering heaps off Harley stuff fron US from both Chicago Harley & MM cycles. Have to say that both are very good to deal with but MM cycles are cheaper.
Thanks for the help guys. Anyone heard of this mob.

I agree with you Walka.
I would rather buy local if possible even if its a bit more expensive, but dont want to get ripped off. Parts I am looking at are $170 US retail, but rrp in Aus (confirmed by Chrome World, Cassons, and others is $339.95 Aus). $170 US is a tad over $200 Aus, so even allowing for shipping and mark up, over $100 Aus difference per item is a bit much to take. Walka gave me a much better price (even though its not listed on VPW website)
