10% markup isn't bad, but that's not where they make the bulk of their money. How much do you think they pay for that $25.00 t-shirt? Accessories, parts, upgrades, and MoCo gear is where they make their money.

Best way to save money, don't pay someone else to bolt stuff on your bike. I got a great deal. I paid MSRP w/ no set up, no frieght, and they gave me $1000 in parts.

For that $1K I got 2 sets diamond plate pegs, skull grips, smoked turn lenses, skull brake pad, skull shiffter pedal, passenger support brackets, badlander seat, and forward controls.

? Dealers are entitled to make a profit, and they should!
I want my dealer to be profitable so he's there to take care of me when I need him. Nobody wants to get ripped off, but a 10% profit seems more than reasonable to me.

the stealer can say they're msrp all they want......
the problem is : all the additional junk that goes in with it....
Just a few add ons I've seen
freight, prep, which they can usually nollie or reduce.
100 bucks for EFI (WTF it's the only way a new wide glide comes)
Documentation fee (this one is beyond me..... why do I pay for your documentation??)
