Default slip ons installed

I never had anything installed at the dealer. Purchased a road king classic last week and just bought a pair of the 4" screamin eagle slip ons. $89.00 dollars to put them on. I think my 12 yr old daughter could put them on in 15 minutes. I just found that a little steep to put on 2 mufflers

Are you kidding? Hell, that ain't bad at all for a dealer install.

I'm going to take this opportunity to tell you that that particular job is a real easy "do it yourself" and helps you learn more about your bike. You don't even need a manual!

So...did you go bow hunting this fall?

Which S.E.s did you get and how do you like them? I'm ready for a pair and would like any feedback I could get. Also did the $89 include any mapping? Thanks.

Sounds like a fair price for a dealer install. Most charge at least an hours labor minimum.

Back in OK, I bought some Rush slip ons. They wanted about the same amount, I asked if i could borrow a rubber mallet and some leather gloves. Did it myself in their parking lot in about 30 min. I was pretty proud of myself lol.

I always think the sad part is the Wrench only makes about $15.00 an hr and the owner/dealership makes $75 an hr off their work.
