Just rough.
The bike started at $13,000
The seat and spring kit is about $550
Th bars are roughly $350 (more with cables and hoses really.)
The paint upgrade is $750
Fwd controls are $180 through H-D1
I can't tell for sure. Are te fork lowers chrome or just standard?
The reason I ask is that a black-motor H-D1 bike should have black lowers. If they're chrome, that's another $500 upgrade.
Another thing is this, when the black motor and candy paint is ordered through H-D1, the system requires that the 103" package is included. I find it odd that a Hard Candy Big Flake red bike with a black motor only has 96".
I think the tins and fork lowers were switched with another bike. This isn't a problem, but it indicates to me that the dealer will take a lower price for this bike.
Considering the upgrades, a price of $13k is a decent deal. Anything less is a good deal. Six months ago that bike would have been $15k with these mods. Being the new models are coming soon, and this bike might be a piece-together, I think you could get a good deal.

Either way, he should be ale to get a deal on this bike.
Make sure to select:
Street Bob $12,999
Big Red Flake paint $750
Black 103" motor $350
SE slip-ons (unless you plan on aftermarket pipes) ???
The white spring seat and mounting kit roughly $550
Forward controls $180.
The whole H-D1 bike is around $15k. The bars, risers, grips and cables/hoses are about $750 + labor (maybe 6 hours at $75 per hour or $450.)
The whole package is still less than $16k retail. I wouldn't pay a dime more unless they throw in some serious incentives.

I think the spring seats look out of place on a dyna (rear shocks). Supposed to copy an old school rigid IMO.

If it's in your budget, I highly recommend using HD-1 and adding mags (non-laced) wheels, unless you just like spokes. It's much cheaper having it done through HD-1 than it is coming back later to buy new wheels. AND anything you add at purchase is covered by the 2 year factory warranty.
You can also request the take off stock parts when you take delivery if you want them. You're paying for them anyway.
