Even from Switzerland I can see that not all dealers are Buell friendly or even friendly. Same here only more so.

I am in the US for 3 weeks soon. Traveling to Central Chicago, South Seattle and LA (Ventura). I want to buy some parts for my XB12X when I am there. The idea is to order them ahead and pick them up from a Buell friendly dealer in one of these locations. Can someone tip me off for a good dealer in one of these towns, I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Dick

I'm still waiting for a Uly drive belt I ordered from Chicago H-D over three weeks ago (and it was not a back ordered part), so I would not recommend ordering anything from them. I initially ordered from them because of the 20% discount.......not worth it if your parts never arrive.

Yeah..., I second the opinion on Chicago H-D. I'm also in the 3-week+ hold for accessories that are not on back order.

However..., now that I actually need a part (that is not an accessory), I'm trying to contact Las Vegas H-D, the company I bought the bike from, and their parts department won't answer their phones, haven't returned voice mails, and won't reply to online submissions. I am beginning to think this is the way all H-D dealerships treat their customers?!?!


I think I'm just frustrated because I need the part to ride, and I'm getting impatient...

Appleton HD in Appleton WI, not toooooo far from Chicago would be a good bet for Buell Friendly Dealership.

Good Luck

Uke's in Kenosha has never let me down. They usually have to order the parts, but they arrive within a week. www.ukeshd.com
What parts are you looking for?

Kenosha is about 50 miles north of Chicago.

I just made a trip to Seattle from the Chicago area. What route are you planning to take?

You could order from American Sport Bike and have the stuff shipped to your hotel or other lodging.

Or, drive down to Vista, CA., an pick them up in person...

Try the Buell parts guys at Glendale HD/Buell - ask for Josh or Serge (they're both Buell owners/riders)

Glendale is about a 2 hour drive from Ventura though. Don't know if that's too far.
