Well,While we were in WI at the 2003 Anniversary Gathering I broke my zipper on my new boots I had bought for the trip. I got the biggest blister I have ever had while walking with the broken zipper. We had to go look for some flip flops so I could take the boot off I was in tears. We road to  a dealer  ( Doc's Harley-Davidson of Shawano ) I think. They were great they took the lousy boots and I got a lace up and I will never buy HD zipper Boots again.

Helen,
       glad to hear that Doc's took care of you, I think he's one of the better dealers around, their about 5 miles from my place and where I bought my bike. that was a pretty good ride from milwaukee about 120 miles each way.

Dear Karen, I am writing to you to tell you it is over between us, and in fact has been over since I fell in love with one of your Factory Reps here in calif., Vern and I have only had 2 affairs to date, but both times, I was left with a sore bottom like never before, I will really miss our love that we shared, My $600 jacket that the zipper pull broke off, and my boots that the zippers split first month I owned them. Of course, according to Bob Drons HD apparell dept. , this was my fault. I will however, always think about you in that sexy official moco harley nightie everytime I drive by a dealership anywhere in my travels. It feels so good to not have to feel like I should stop and buy anything like I always did in the past, funny how love can turn sour so fast. Forever heartbroken....Mike L.

I was reading Mike's note to Karen about his unfortunate break up with Vern and his loss of the zipper pull and for some reason it reminded me of my zipper pull that went south on my favorite HD leather.

Why I haven't recalled it I can only imagine is because the .005 cent paperclip that I have had on it for five years or so is working so well it simply slipped my mind.

Then I started to recall all of the other clothing I have had in my 58 years on this planet leather and otherwise that I have lost zipper pulls off of.................. ZERO, ZIP, NADA is the number that comes to mind.  Sure there may have been one or two along the way.  Most likely on some cheap piece of crap jacket or pair of old pants, but those don't even register I suppose.  But when you have left the kind of money one does for HD apparel I suppose you come to expect the quality of at least a $20.00 pair of jeans from Wally World.

Oh well, false expectations set by the quality of my custom paint job on the SEUC I suppose.

In 53 years I've never had the zipper break on a pair of Levi's.

Wished it had a couple times - - - - - - - - --

I will hold Karen's hand Never a problem here with zippers on our leather jackets? My family of five has probably two to three jackets a piece and never heard anyone complain. Knock on wood Chaps on the other hand I always buy from fox creek. Bottom line is you don't like the MoCo work or do not want to advertise for them buy something else?

No that's not the bottom line and is a cheap answer in my opinion. H-D leathers are the only ones I've ever found to be comfortable. My Screamin Eagle leather is good until the temp gets to 80 if I open the vents. I like the product with the exception of the zippers. So I end up having a better quality zipper installed and that's that. I don't agree with your attitude to cut and run from doing business with someone because of a problem. If you practice that you will eventually have no source for anything you need. There isn't a business out there that is perfect. So I bitch on occasion. It's human nature. Good for you if you've had totally positive experiences with H-D leathers. I started the thread as way of deflecting my complaint through the use of a bit of humor. I guess you missed that.

Holy crap Rog, thanks! What the hell else am I missing. This site is so powerful now, and as a real amateur when it comes to this, there's probably dozens of things that I haven't found yet! But it hasn't blown up yet, so I'll keep playing! Hoist!
