Default Help me figure mod installation costs

So my stealerships parts counter acts as a separate entity from their service department. I wanted to know what I should expect to pay to have the following installed on a 2013 FXDF w/ABS.

Fat Bob slotted custom wheel gloss black front & back
2 front Classic black break rotors
1 rear Reaper black break rotor
Gloss black triple tree kit
SE Dyna staggered dual slipon mufflers
Spun aluminum speedo/tach
LED Bullet smoked turn signals front & back
Dyna front spoiler

Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion.

I'd say an easy $1200 based upon the nominal $95 hr labor charge....they wanted $90 just to put rear brake pads on alone! That's crazy

Buy the parts and take them to an Indy. They charge a couple bucks less and give you a hug. Its a feel good thing.

If you are going to have the dealer do it, get a quote from them in advance. You can hold them to that if they try to bill you more upon completion.

The biggest cost is going to be the triple tree kit, the rest are simple mods.

You will also need new tires to go with the new wheels.

Just don't understand why you didn't ask the service department for a quote ?

Get a quote from the MoCo, a quote from an indy and best yet consider doing it your self and same a bunch of cash for future mods. Hell you could practically pay for the cost of the mods planned with what youd save in shop costs...just a thought

The forks are the hardest to do but not that hard.
Do it your self and save the cost of the triple trees, at least.
Just take your time and you will reap your rewards for your work.

Most people I've found are super queasy about doing their own work. Honestly, it really isn't very hard. Grab a manual, do a bit of reading, check out a youtube video if you need to and go for it, take your time and look at how fat your wallet is staying. Its so worth it to do your own work, just go for it man!

I'd figure $75 on each mod, just a round number from what I've seen for other mods I've asked about.

In the early 70s, I did all my own work, except for engine stuff. Now, with all of the crap on a new bike, I'm not touching it. Plus it's under warranty.
