Its high, but not much different than if you bought a Super Glide, but wanted a Wide Glide front end, forward controls,or Bob-Tail fender.. Its what you bought, if you want something different, it will cost $$$$..

RE: Harley-Davidson engineers SUCK!!
you should be able to get a back rest with out moving your turn signals . and you even can get saddle bags that can go over your turn lights .and you can pay a whole lot less for that back rest . i dont know what stealer you are going to . i would be looking for a new one ,

Dayum! Are we all just gluttons for punishment or what? I mean, there's not a one of us - who at one time or another - hasn't gone off about how much this cost or that cost, etc. While at the same time and in the very same breath, we're willingly and voluntarily handing over the cashola in turn. We're a crazy lot, wouldn't ya' say? Harleys: For some folks, it's often times a love/hate relationship.

It starts with the initial buy with a new buyer. Look at Harley's payment calculator. What other manufacturer lets you finance up to $3,000 worth of parts and clothing as part of your initial bike purchase? Stick it to the man? Who's kidding who?

It's easy to be hatin' on Harley, but metric bikes have the same problems. My son in law bought a Yamaha V-Star. When he bought the windshield, he had to by the mounting hardware separately. Hmmmm..... how you gonna mount a windshield without hardware? Ducktape, maybe?

Actually, it's not the Engineers that dictate price, it's the marketing machine.
So if it all fits together, the Eng Dept did their job.
Oh yeah I have a few gripes about the way things are engineered, but they didn't ask me. Keeps me busy modifying.

RE: Harley-Davidson engineers SUCK!!
Just filled out my customer satisfaction survey on my new bike.That was one of my gripes along with not being able to order the bike with different seats, tires, bars,and whatnot.I know HD makes a lot on these things but when everyones first move is to toss a stock seat you are doin something wrong.
