Euro men's zippers are bassackwards from ours.

I doubt even the Chinese make a jacket that works like a straight jacket on purpose

[CVOJOE]

From: KD
To: Spiderman

I can tell from your letter that your are a loyal customer of our company which since founded has prided itself on quality American craftsmanship.  I can not therefore understand why you are finding a problem with our Chinese zippers and leathers.

We make every effort to make sure that these Chinese products are the premium quality you should expect in China.  We take only the best quality Chinese products, of course with the lowest bid.

I am sorry that I can not assist you with your nice Vietnamese lady down the street, but if you would like to use any of our dealers we will be happy to have our quality inspectors decide if your zipper failed or simply does not work do to unauthorized modification or application of a non-Harley lubricant to enhance the zipper's performance.

You may want however to get the new "premium quality" scripted ball cap from the dealer next time you are in, they are usually fail safe and we appreciate the free advertising.

Best regards,

KD's assistant (kd is out tanning)

Can we all spell "low bidder; cheap Chinese steel; and horrible quality control"?

Ms Karen Davidson,

I, like my brothers here have stated, have also spent many thousands of dollars for the privilege to wear the HD emblems with pride on riding apparel.  Unfortunately, not all my riding apparel comes from HD.  Very few of the HD shops carry clothes in my size.  Seems that the clothing line for women is made for the cute fender ornament type, size 2 and 4.   Suggestive cuts and very bright colors.  Lovely to look at, but my full figured body does not look good in the styles, even if I could pour myself into them, they are not cut for ridability, they are not the colors or durability for cross country travel.  How about a boot meant for a woman, waterproof, breathable, easy on-off, non-slip sole, styled feminine, but not a high heel? I have found better success buying clothing at the Honda and BMW shops and independents - cruiserworks etc.

I can honestly say I've never seen a Harley rider stop at a Honda shop for a Tee-shirt or leather riding gear.

Dear Karen,

The latest H-D leather catalogue.

The irony is not lost on me.

About two years ago my FXRG jacket (while still under "warranty") ended up with a broken zipper pull.  It seems to be unfixable.  The dealer I bought it from is not worth the time to chase down.  It seems to me that the dealer closest to where I live should have been able to fix the problem.  -No dice.  Like most of the other problems I've had with Harley, I just decided to buy another jacket and forget about it.  It's not worth the turmoil it takes to fix it. 
  One day I (about 2 yrs. ago) I just pulled the zipper on my sleeve, and the whole tab broke off.  At least it's not as bad as the engine that I blew after spending about $5K hopping up (while still under "warranty") -not be covered- because of aftermarket parts. 
  Remember, it's the Land of the Fee!!

Bought 2 pair of chaps and 2 leather jackets 6 years ago from Wilson Leather.

Chaps-$29.95 ea
Jackets-$59.95 ea

The only problem with any of them was Kathy's chaps had to have the last 3 inches of the zipper re sewned while in Daytona.  Cost $5.00

Can't see paying $500 for junk and for free advertising for the MOCO

Steve,
There's a way to avoid all this but it involves driving PAST the dealership.
