Just picked up my 2007 FXDC getting the 40K service. Total cost was $591.55 (with Syn3) and misc charges including the Fork oil. Labor was $450. I was shocked at the labor price, but I guess there is a lot of work to be done on the forks. I ride about 10K a year and fear the 50K service. Maybe I'll just get a Honda junker to run around town with. They said I'll need a new rear tire soon, 160/17. I know that installed is $412 or so. Only have 7K on the rear now. I want a Breakout but just looking at the rear tire alone would cost $1000 probably. I miss the old days. Ride safe!

If I didn't do my own maintenance I couldn't afford to own a Harley.
+1 most dealers around here charge 100 an hour, paying to have even basic maint done adds up quick...
The last back tire I did cost less than 200, the tire cost 160 shipped to my door, and a local rice indy shop mounted and balanced it for $35, with me removing the wheel...

Forget the junker, just get a jack and a manual and your good to go. These bikes are not that hard to work on and that tire shouldn't set you back more than 200bucks if you do it yourself
