Ughhhhh!!!!!
Thanks for the compliment, Have to get some new pics up, I added a lot to bike over last few months. I would think the check would be close to Dennis Kirks price , they usually are lower even with the dealers typical 20% discount. If Dennis Kirk doesn't have them you can get them from Direct Harley parts, about $30 cheaper than Kirks price I think..

It's a good plan, but since there are parts on back order, rather than get upset, why not just take the bike stock, and have the dealer install all the new parts at the first oil change? What is that nowadays, 500, 1000 miles? Whatever you decide to do, good luck with the new bike!
I know what you are saying but when I bought my bike I told them I wanted the following before it went out the door: Front Turn Signal Relocate, LED Break Light, Daytime Running Break Light, New Levers, V&H Big Radius 2 into 2 pipes, Roland Sands Air Breather and have it Dyno Tuned. They had to order the parts and told me the parts would be in by mid this week and they would have everything put on and ready to go by end of this week. I thought that was pretty reasonable. Then they called me yesterday telling me the pipes are on back order for a couple weeks through V&H.
What I don't want to do it get the bike, ride it, get the pipes, put them on, take the bike back to get Dyno'd, etc. I want the bike to be all set up and ready to go when it leaves the dealership. I am all about doing my own labor on my bike but I've got 3 young ones and it's hard to find the time with my schedule so I didn't have a problem adding a couple hundred bucks labor to my financing for the dealership to have it all ready. Just sucks that V&H has them on back order but Dennis Kirk has them in stock.
