RE: Holy Crap!
You are correct in that the one I was quoted was the removable type
as opposed to the rigid mount.
Perhaps I'll switch to the rigid mount and install it myself and see how that works out

I didn't get a reach around, either. $241 worth of parts installed - all easy locations - and $234.57 in labor charges. About two hours work. $475.57 total!
"Oh what a feeling!"...no..wait..thats another brand.

RE: Holy Crap!
This IS the "Holy Crap!" thread after all 
I think he got the same dealer as me. It looked to me that they were billing their time
at $70.00 per 30 minutes, rounding up to the nearest hour, and then adding tax.

Make sure on the rigid mount about the turn signal relocation but if it isn't necessary, it will take 15 minutes to install. And if you ever decide you want to run without it for a while, it takes 15 minutes to uninstall. In my opinion, the rigid looks cleaner as well.

Its either that or they were quoting $70.00 per hour and claiming that it
would take 2 hours to add the backrest, and another 2 hours to install the tach.
Rediculous no matter which way you look at it[:@]

Don't pay them to put that stuff on. Every aftermarket part I've ordered comes with installation instructions. Their instructions are easy to follow. Just make sure you protect the paint. The turn signal relocate is simple. VERY SIMPLE. The more work you do on your own bike, the more familiar you'll become with it.
