Default SERT Price?

I spoke to a local dealer yesterday and they quoted me $943.00 (parts&labor) for the SERT. This includes the dyno tune as well. Is this normal? Seems high to me. I was thinking if I ordered the SERT from zanottis for $355.00 + cables for $30.00 + shipping $15.00, I would be out approx. $400.00 + a couple hours on the dyno and an hour to install the SERT at $69.00 hour = approx. $607.00.

Still expensive, but $340.00 bucks cheaper than what I was quoted. If this is normal I will just go with a PCIII and install it myself. I can always have it dynoed later.

Cables are included. In my 2006 kit they where. And it took my dealer 1.5 hrs. That included 5 passes on the Dyno $505.88. That was with 15% off included tax.

A Dynotek certified Harley Dealer said 4 hours to properly dyno a PCIII USB. I would imagine that a SERT should take at least that long as it is more complex...

OTOH, after about 2 hours what you can gain from more passes and tweaking is for the track IMHO.

There should be no labor charge to install the SERT as there is nothing to install. Simply a plug in download which is done in conjunction with tuning on a dyno.

Additionally starting this year, the cables are not included with the SERT. there is a seperate $30.00 charge for them.

A dealer in St. Louis is quoting 4.5 hours on the Dyno to tune with a SERT @ $90/hr. That sounded pretty high to me.

I am leaning towards getting the PCIII and installing it myself. Then I will have it dynoed at a later date to fine tune.

What year is your bike. If it is an 07, the PC by-passes the o2 sensors. Have no idea if that does anything or not.

I put the SERT on my 07, used the canned MAPP, it runs great and dramatically lowered the engine temp.

My bike is an 06. How long was your bike on the dyno? I would rather go with the SERT due to it being an HD product, I just can't part with $950.00 right now (my wife is 8.5 months pregnant), and I don't want the backfiring to cause any damage to the engine. Although, everyone I have spoken to have told me it isn't anything to worry about, just an annoyance.

I did the same, which map did you use? I used #67 with the SE breather and SE slip ons.
