Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

Things are getting very exciting around here at Usedhogparts!  Our team is working hard to bring you all the latest features and get everyone involved in our Harley Community.  We have a seen a major increase in traffic to our site and want to thank all of you for choosing Usedhogparts as your Harley venue.  Have you checked out our Harley Poll on the right side of the homepage?

Usedhogparts on Facebook!

 

Lastly, I am happy to announce our new Usedhogparts Facebook Page where our Harley Lovers can post in discussions, check out live mini-feeds on Harley updates and stay informed on all Harley events.  We have a Usedhogparts Myspace Page as well, but some of you prefer one over the other so now you have the option of checking out Usedhogparts in both locations!  Check it out and tell your friends about it!

 

Weekly Reminders!


I’d like to also mention a couple of reminders to all of you.  We have been getting a lot of emails from people who are looking for specific parts for their Harley’s and I want to direct all of you to our Parts Wanted section.  That is the place to post what it is you are looking for and also check to see if someone else has it.  If you can’t locate the part there then try using our search section to locate your part.  Usedhogparts.com is a venue where users can buy and sell bikes and parts. But Usedhogparts.com does not keep a stock of parts or bikes on hand, so if you are looking for a part, we encourage you to browse the parts on the site.

 

I’d also like encourage all of you to post questions, thoughts, updates and reviews on our Usedhogparts Forum!  Our forum is the place to give and get back from our Harley Community.  We want to hear about all of your Harley experiences, events and questions!  If you have a special Harley event that you would like to share please post it on our Events Calendar.

In addition, we are going to select popular Harley topics for each week.  Our articles, forum, blog and newsletter will all be focused on the topic chosen for each week.  For example, one week will be about Women and Motorcycling and the next about Softails, and so on and so forth. 

 

The focus this week will be the 2009 Sportster Models!  The Sportster has received numerous updates for the 2009 model year and we want to keep all of you informed!  For instance, all 2009 Sportster models have been improved with new front fenders.  The goal is to provide a new low-profile front fender that hugs the tire for a streamlined, custom look.  Want to know more?
