Hmm--some over on the Yank board are experiencing delays in shipment-- big time...

That'a a shame...I've only ever had good service from that crew...but after reading the above site...its a bit of a worry isn't it. Hmmm, I wonder how Zanotti's are going.

It's my understanding from 'visiting' over there that HD is putting pressure on the 20% discount dealers to either completely stop heavy discounting, or at least stop advertising it-- depending on who one listens to... I use M&M and hope they are still good to go...

LOL! I reckon it's that rat bastid Gerry "no nuts" Harvey whinging about discount internet sellers (while he has a swim with his squillions in the pool). Notice how he has now STFU since he got a big kick in the backside locally?

Power to the People!

 Got a mate waitin for parts from Chicago HD, told me today of the delay......hes been waitin a few weeks now and not sure how much longer he is going to have to wait.

I put a quote into M&M tonight for him and if happy he will cancel the ChicagoHD one! Hope there is no similar problems from Mark!

Burto.

I placed an order with Chicago HD last October, took 11 weeks to get it. --- never again !!!!

Put few orders through Zanotti in December last year. No problems at all.
Very quick turn around.

I put an order  in with CHD last October, it took 7 weeks to get here, after 3 emails with no reply & 3 phone calls I just said to them send what you have & cancel rest of order. I WILL NEVER DEAL WITH CHD EVER AGAIN.

Items that were cancelled with CHD, I ordered from Mark (M&M), was here in 2 weeks.

Has any one dealt / placed orders with Barnetts HD

I sent Chicago HD and email las.t Saturday 5th Feb and still no reply. This is for the cost of shipping for a rim and bearings

Have given up on them. I did whan that solid read wheel but forget it from there.

I'm contemplating in placing a big parts order with them,
however after reading some the comments here in 2 minds whether to go ahead with placing it now.......

think i'll bite the bullet so to speak, fuck paying what they're asking here in OZstralia

Maybe you should try Harley Heaven,I sent Harley Heaven an email with part numbers and Chicago HD prices( $US298.00 plus shipping )

and HH did me the deal for $262.00 inc delivery to Newcastle.

Confuscus say "if seem to good to be true it probably is".

you'll only get caught out once then the promised savings are just that - Promised!

I hear more horror stories than good and I wonder how many of the good are real vs tall poppie bashing?????????????????????????? it's cost me more than it is worth - I'll stay local and then I can face up to anyone with any issues.

Thanks for Isaac.......cheers
thats all i needed........your M8 did he have any issues with buying / bringing the bike over........how about taxes / compliance and rego.

I would be interest to hear

SOLD.............

I ordered $400 of stuff from Chicago Harley in November 2010, it is now March 2011 and have heard nothing. When I look at the site it saqys parts are on order from HD. Sent emails, no reply, starting to get pissed off.

These pricks are dodgy not just for sending stuff to Aust but in the US as well. People in the US are getting pissed at them for not sending stuff.

 

On the US HD Forums site those customers that had paid with a credit card have raised a dispute with their bank and got their money back.

Harley is putting the screw on everyone...dealerships don't want you buying over-seas and saving money.  I started buying aftermarket on most of my things...even then, MAP policies prevent many sites from advertising their "real" selling price.  Some MAP policies prevent shops from even saying "email for price".  I get most of my stuff from mandmcycles.com.  You have to add the item to your cart and you will get a quote emailed to you with their price. Price and service there is pretty good.  It seems like the industry in general is trying to make everyone pay top dollar for parts...but there are places you can get good price/service...just have to look for them and ask around.

Isn't there a H-D dealer in Mt Isa?

Gotta be better to go see them about a deal than paying $153  for thin air and stress?

Too much of this shit going on with O/seas internet sellers riupping p[eople off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
