Dealer costs
I am looking at the buying the basic Ultra Glide w/ fuel injection. Dealer provides 2 free T-shirts, full tank of gaas, No documentation fees, free HOG membership and a free calendar with a picture of me and my Harley.
They provide free labor on qualified accessories installed at time of new cycle purchase. This does not include “mods” so the buckhorn bars and offset riser I want would be 3 ½ hours labor...175. Also I assume if I wanted forward extensions or a Stage I or Stage II installation there would be labor charges.
It seems to me that installing a new seat (the solo reach seat and passenger pillion), sissy bar and bolt on mufflers should be things which I could easily do myself. My dealer will be having an open house and sale on parts later this month. Why not buy from them then and save money...is it just because it is easier to come up with the money when financing the entire package.
Finally, they’re willing to install Auxiliary Passing lights, relocation turn signal kit and Quick release Windshield (total of about 775 and not charge labor...Don’t they have to deal with the handlebars in doing this?
Thanks for any help possible. TIA, Art

RE: Dealer costs
Art,
From another post you made, I think you are talking about a SuperGlide, not an Ultra. I'll try to answer some of your questions based on that assumption.
The free stuff sounds pretty good, especially getting things installed for free. The free t-Shirts and tank of gas are pretty standard. The free HOG membership is from Harley, and not the dealership.
As far as the Stage I, you can do that yourself, with the exception of the re-map. You just change air cleaners, and mufflers, then take it to the dealer and have the re-map(150.00) done. The seat is a no brainer. remove 1 screw remove the seat and replace it with the new one.
Relocating the turn signals, and adding a windshield will not require them to do anything with the handlebars that I know of.
Hope this helps.
regards,
Bill
