Default Price seems high for torque cam install.

I went to to my closest dealer and had them give me an estimate to install the Torque cams on my 2017 SGS. The estimate came out to $1143.00 after parts and labor. The is the torque cam kit and they recommended changing out a bushing with a better one but that was only adding another $12.00. It was higher than I was expecting. Hope some of you guys who've had the stage II upgrade done can shed some light on whether this is too high or not.

I already have the SE pro-tuner, SE Air cleaner, and a set of slip ons.

Not too bad for a cam install for any year. Would likely be a bit cheaper from an indy.

Doesn't seem bad at all for a dealer, the cam kit is $400 then add the gasket kit. So say $450 plus tax then add on 6 hours labor (including a re-tune).

Thanks for the replies. To me it seemed a little high but it sounds like it's in the ball park so I think I'm going to have it done. A good friend of mine has a brother who works for an H-D dealer. Maybe I can get him to do it as a side job and save a few bucks, so will see if he wants to do the job first. Warranty would be still be covered I would bet since he's a certified H-D mech. keeping this bikes warranty in tact is a huge priority until it's paid for and the warranty expires.
