not too many harley dealers in my parts so im looking for other means...also looking for numbers on Cross Reference for headlight bulb have heard there others besides harley davidson.

If someone wasn't an expert and was rebuilding or restoring an old Harley, like a Knucklehead, are there any parts or pieces that might be easy to mistakenly put on backward, upside down, or wrong without realizing?

It doesn't really matter what part of the bike it is, or whether or not it would affect how the bike runs (or doesn't) as long as an expert, looking at it would be able to tell right away.

I need to figure out what kind of part i labeled like this:

BDC - PC - 139 - 1 for a USA 197Q, possibly a belt of some sort.

If someone can help please tell me as well where I can purchase one.

My boyfriend just bought a Harley-Davidson Sportster and we have been riding a lot lately, but we need some more Harley clothing and other things. We went to a HD shop to look but t-shirts run from 25 bucks on up to 60! I am unwilling to spend that much for one t-shirt! Does anyone know where to find Harley stuff at a better price? I've already looked at Amazon.com and have found a few things but not enough.
You can't purchase anything from the Harley-Davidson website, it tells you to go to a HD dealer. I've been there, done that.

Is it the gas tank? The air filter cover? The frame? There are so many motorcycles that look like a Harley. Some even better and cheaper. For example, Independence makes a beautiful bike that uses mostly the same parts. Custom bike builders use the same parts. But what part makes the bike a Harley?

i have a 2000 sportster 883 what all back rest can i use

for example, ( forward controls) or etc???

I Have a set of Harley 45 rods that I dug out to sell. The part numbers are XA-705 and XA-706. Does that mean that these are for an XA or is that just a standard 45 part number ?

i need access to oem harley davidson part numbers. does anyone know of a site that provides this info?
thanks

It's for my Dad. He is looking to purchase online a Spring Compressing Tool Part. No. HD-38515A
Answers and links would be much appreciated!

Harley Davidson makes more money selling clothing, keychains and "officially licensed merchandise" than they do from selling bikes. Further, 99% of this merchandise is made in china, malaysia, and mexico. Even their bikes contain foreign parts from places like italy and china and are far less reliable or technologically advanced as other bikes. How am I, as a proud American, supposed to get excited about an "American" product, when it is far more inferior, way pricier, and less reliable than most other motorcycles out there and the company that builds it makes most of its money selling foreign fashion garbage? Doesn't spending my hard earned money on something like this just make me stupid?

I have Harley-Davidson motorcycle parts that are all for models 2000 and later. Some of these parts are for Softails.There is everything from exhaust pipes to handlegrips. A great percentage of these parts have never been used, and all of them are exactly like new. For more information please contact www.myspace.com/davids_harley_parts2000 , and view the photo section.

Does anyone have a HD radio for an 06 Electra glide they want to sell? Inner fairing? Black Primary cover? Passenger floor pegs, not floor boards? Let me know.
Yes I know, eBay. But I'm asking here
Wowo folks I wasn't born yesterday. I know about ebay and craigslist and things like that. I even know how ebay works. I was just looking to see if anyone had anything.
Magz, you obviously don't know Harley of late. Nothing falls off anymore and they are made very well.
