One of the benefits of not trying to build multiple lines of bikes to cater to every segment of the motorcycle market, is it is easier to keep in stock a healthy inventory of parts and accessories. On rare occasions I will have to wait a couple of days for delivery of a part, but with Yamaha, I have to wait a week for almost any part. Certainly any part beyond an oil filter or light bulb. > >c)Are parts available online (including viewing fiche diagrams, etc.)? I thought I posted a link to HD parts fiche a while back. I can't find it now though. > >Thanks, Datesfat

I can't > find it now though. I just look up the part in my Harley-Davidson 2006 FLHXI parts manual, go to Chicago H-D online, and order the part. It comes in the mail, and I install it on my bike. If I want someone else to install it, I take it to Winchester H-D and buy it from them and have them install it. I *like* having the factory workshop manual and parts books for my motorcycles. |
