Add me to the list that will help ANY fellow Harley owner get parts. I buy most everything at 20% off list and will gladly re-ship to a site member for postage. The little bit of time and fuel it will cost me will be charged to friendship! Make sure you know exactly what you want, as I will forward the package unopened. Shoot me a PM if I can help. Jimmy

This post will not be forgotten.
Thank you.

there are many ways to detour - you may consider borderlinx for instance. And before anybody suspects that's a scammer: it's not. Borderlinx is a subsidiary of Deutsche Post (of DHL to be precise) and most legitimate

This is a great service set up to provide us with a US address and receive and ship our parts etc to us anywhere in the world.

For $60 a year is all it costs , they have great rates with DHL and Fedex, I recently had a King Tour Pack sent to me for $200 shipping ... A bargain since it weighed 38 pounds and was in a big box.

We will have to see how long it takes for them to try to stop this loophole from working ...

Thanks to all friends who are willing to help out in this situation with the sale restrictions.

MOCO is making a stupid move with this and charges european bikers with three or sometimes four times higher prices for the same part in comparison to USA prices.

But I buy parts where I WANT!!!!!

It is time to show MOCO that the customer is the BOSS, we decide on our own where we spend our money!!!

Just a guess, but my take on this would be that the licensed H-D dealerships (importers) in countries outside the USA have put pressure on H-D to enact/enforce this. They are paying shipping, import feees, tariffs etc and cannot compete with USA based on-line mail order houses. WOW, stop and think of that. Foreign countries asking the US for protection against a domestic (USA) based business. And it looks like we're doing it. As Larry the Cable Guy loves to say - - - "Only  in America "

Just might be stuck buying in Canada. I have looked through the catalogue( paper and on both the US & CDN site) and have not found HD's own version of KY Jelly...if I use a brand other than their's to 'ease the initial purchase' , does that mean my Canadian warranty is invalid?

I have to agree to ice6900 and kraut: It wont get any better with the time!  

for the last 2 years, us-hd-dealers also had problems to ship to an address,
different from the credit-card-holder. Then they had to stop giving discount,
now they have to stop selling at all. I thought their business is to sell the stuff
they are dealing with. I don't know where this is heading to, but I'm very thankfull
to the offer of Twolanerider, that he will help us out!!!!

The MoCo is not the only company with this disease.
I attached an article from last sunday, about the same
headlines:

For those you would like to read german  , I attached the article.

To make it short: converse boots in the us about 40$, here in switzerland
between 129 - 139.- Sfr depending on color. 1$ is about 0.9 Sfr at the
moment. The company doing the import for D.A.CH (Germany, Austria,
Switzerland) improved their profit before tax nearlly 10 times.
2004 it was 2.5 million Euro, in 2009 21.9 million Euro. The value of goods
at custom for this boots are 9.02$.

@Bandit
Thanks alot for this very interesting article.

There is hope that now all realise that we pay way to much for different consumer articles........especially HD parts.

There are dozens of exemples that we pay four times to much here in Europe for MOCO parts. Not only parts also the motorcycles are much more expensive ...it is not fair and there is no reason to do so.

It has NOTHING to do with tax or transport.......it is just to maximise their profits.

M3 Convertible costs in the USA( 67550 dollars), it is produced in GERMANY and SHIPPED over to the USA!!!
M3 Convertible in Switzerland costs 131500 dollars........can someone explain me this...tax, transport???
The cars for the USA have even a better spec, but cots the half of what we pay here in Germany or Switzerland.

MOCO should think about what they are doing and as stated in the article this market restriction will fall back to MOCO.....lets see and wait!

Now that Harley have stopped their dealers selling on the Internet outside the US, we are forced to pay over inflated dealer prices here in the UK, sometimes 2x the price you guys pay ! Would anyone be prepared to purchase in the US & ship over to the UK, obviously all costs inc purchase price & shipping as well as your costs would be paid for in advance. Just putting it out there for discussion/comments.

[Twolanerider]

Lake Shore Harley still mentions international shipping on their website ( www.lshd1.com ).

[ice6900]

As MOCO monitors this site, it might be best to keep this info between us, pm`s please

[Wayne G]

Heads up for all the international members
I got a email from Lake Shore HD a major internet parts source saying;

AFTER JULY 10th 2011

No Sales to International Credit Cards
-or- International PayPal Accounts

No sales through Freight Forwarders

USA Only Sales as per Harley-Davidson Policy
for their USA Dealers

This Does Not Include our USA Service Persons
at APO/AEO addresses via USPS Delivery

[Paul1]

Still time to make an order then ! Does anyone know if the US style smoked rear taillights on the 2011SG flash red or Amber ?

[aero8]

Dear Paul1

They flash RED.

Aero8

[skboy]

They do flash red, I believe you can get amber. Our Canadian bikes came with amber which IMO is fairly stale. Placed my order last night for some smoked red ones. Beware a lot of places are already shutting down international orders. so don't wait to long.
