    Happy new year all, a good mate has a birthday coming up & a few of us are chipping in to get him something special. Is there anywhere in Ireland that does aftermarket Harley parts? eg handlebars, etc. I don't want to deal with any of the dealerships as he's had nothing but bad experiences with them & I've never heard anyone who dealt with them who would recommend them. I'd hope not to have to source any items from abroad as I imagine the cost would be prohibitive. Many thanks in advance.

    ...what do you mean 'any' of the dealerships - Harley dealerships, or ones in general ?

    There are only 2 dealers in RoI you know............

    And I know you mean well, but I wouldn't be buying handlebars without trying them: a voucher for whichever shop you pick would be best imho. Then he get anything from a part to a helmet or whatever.

    www.motorbikeshop.ie seems to be good, based in Cork.

You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Thanks lads. I was reluctant to deal with the harley dealership (at least in Dublin) as their prices & customer service are legendary. I will probably go the voucher route as that hadn't occurred to me. One4all it is 😎

    ...this very forum has seen some stories about the Dublin shop alright, and I've one or two myself, but I've only actually dealt with, seldomly I admit, the original H-D shop in Ireland, Waterford H-D.
