I gave the parts guy the HD OEM P/N for the O Rings and he brought out those. I've always used o rings before.

 

I’ve visited half a dozen different dealerships in the past few months looking for this or that for my Dad’s 75 Superglide and lemme tell you - I am NOT impressed. With almost any of them.

Not only do they never have any parts for a bike that old, they actively seem ANNOYED that I’m asking them for parts for something like that. Contrast that to Honda, Triumph, etc - you show up there with something really vintage and you’ll have half the store gathered around ooohing and aaaahing over the lump because they’re relatively rare any more.

I expected Harley folks to really appreciate a well cared-for and running bike of that vintage, but both at dealerships and at bike gatherings the HD folks seem the opposite. 😓

And $27 for a few gaskets IS nuts I agree.

 

I agree with the HD attitudes. Last time I was in a Dealership I stopped to look at some new bikes. Of course a salesman was right on me with "Looking to buy a Harley?" Which is of course why he's there, right? I said I already have two and his response was "Well they're old, you need a new one!" I told him to get away from me, I'm not buying a new bike today.
