Ventura Harley- Davidson

“Ventura Harley-Davidson combines all the amenities of a twenty-first century Harley-Davidson dealership with the good old-fashioned feel of a motorcycle shop. We know that you’ll find us friendly, fair, straight-dealing and at your service with ample inventory.

Ventura Harley-Davidson moved to its present location in Camarillo on the 101 freeway in 1998 and is known for its comfortable showroom, relaxing, park-like grounds and long-term, experienced staff. With multiple restaurants, hotels, old-time strawberry stands and a brand new gas station/convenience store at our Central Avenue off-ramp, we've got all your riding needs covered at one stop. We are about an hour and several sighs north of the hurly-burly of Los Angeles, a great destination or your gateway to California's pristine Central Coast.

Ventura Harley-Davidson provides an active promotional calendar of sales, barbecues, open houses and rides, along with an active and thriving H.O.G. Chapter located in the heart of some of the nation’s finest riding country and one of the world’s best micro-climates. Try us on for size – we think you’ll like the fit!

Hard to believe that it has been nearly 13 years since we moved our operations from Morse Ave. in Ventura to Camarillo on Cinco De Mayo 1998. For those of you that remember the quaint little showroom in the industrial strip off of Market – our new showroom seemed huge!
It was recently huge again when we removed all the motorcycles, fixtures, clothing and parts to give our showroom a face lift. Funny how big it is when it is empty. Many of you stopped by to pick up parts or grab a t-shirt while we were "gutted" – you'll be happy to know our showroom is once again intact and looking warm & beautiful. While we were in the middle of putting everything back together, a long time customer stopped in and looked around and said "new showroom but same old employees" as he slapped Darrell (our Parts Manager who's been with us since August 1998) on the back.
We invite you to stop by and see the 'new digs' and the 'same old employees'. We love seeing new faces as well as the ones that have been around awhile. Thank you for supporting us all these years – we appreciate your business as well as the spirit and your love of Harley-Davidson that you bring to the shop.
Ride Safe!’
Ventura Harley-Davidson Team

Barnett Clutches and Cables

Barnett Performance Products

We at Barnett Tool & Engineering are proud to be entering our 62nd year in the motorcycle industry! As we begin our 62nd year, we can reflect back and see how Barnett and the entire motorcycle industry have changed since our early beginnings in 1948.

Charlie Barnett first started in his garage making parts for his riding buddies. He knew he could make better parts for motorcycles than what was being offered and spare parts weren't easy to come by, so Charlie started making his own. In 1948, he opened a shop in a small storefront in Huntington Park, CA. Cable assemblies for British bikes were the majority of the business back in the early days. The late 50's brought the introduction of Barnett clutch plates. Thankfully, Honda helped bring motorcycling more into the mainstream in the USA and this created a greater demand for quality aftermarket products. New products, new ideas, and the involvement of the next generation of the Barnett family shaped the 60's for Barnett Tool & Eng. The 70's and 80's brought growth, expansion and new and improved materials. The 90's brought more new materials, such as our Kevlar friction material in 1991, as well as improved product designs and state of the art technology and machinery.

Unfortunately, over the past two years we have seen a major collapse in the world and national economy. Just about every person and every industry has been affected. The motorcycle and powersports industry is no exception. In an effort to help our customers, we will be holding our pricing for 2010 with no increases. New products introduced this year will also be priced at the 2009 level. Speaking of new products, check out our new, Black Scorpion 3” belt drive for American V-twins, Ducati clutch covers and spring sets, and new application listings for street and off-road motorcycles and ATV’s. Also, be sure to check back for new product announcements and updates on product applications. We also have promotional items such as banners, signs, catalogs and brochures available to dealers, on request.

We at Barnett continue to be dedicated to bringing the highest quality motorcycle products to our customers while continuing to follow Charlie and Afton Barnett's company principles from many years ago. Barnett Tool & Eng. continues to be family owned and operated with three generations of the Barnett family currently involved in day to day operations and we will continue to strive to manufacture and produce only the highest quality motorcycle products. Made in the U.S.A.- since 1948.
