Harley Dealership Mail Order Restriction

keikat2 said:

I was getting ready to order some Tri-Glide parts from the Surdyke Harley dealership website. However, I had some questions concerning the parts; and, in turn, sent an email to their customer service email address. Almost immediately, I received an email response back indicating Harley has now restricted their dealerships from selling and shipping parts to customers outside their geographic territory. Anybody else experienced this issue?

Yes Sir - this happened some time ago. Dealers are now restricted to their service areas.

Thank you "cycle7447", "rhino2", and "PosseRider" for your comments concerning my inquiry about Harley dealerships restriction to sell parts outside of their operating territory. The only problem is "When a freedom is taken away, the remaining freedoms have a tendency to become even more restrictive and eventually taken away, as well". What if Harley decides not sell Harley parts to anybody who likes to maintain and repair their own Harley? Then, we all would have to take our Harley to a dealership to have them worked on. Just food for thought.

Thank you,

Allen S.
