Sorry for this rant, but I just had to voice my astonishment at the prices the Harley dealers are charging. I have an 07 Softail Custom, took it to the dealer [ yeah I know a stupid thing to do ] for a price on an oil change and two tires. Total out the door $800.15!!!!!!!!!!! I told them I there for TIRES for my bike NOT a down payment on another one! Well, I feel better now.
Dude I hope you didn't pay that, I just purchased two whitewall tires for 370.00 with new tubes, mounted, balanced and installed, plus I do my own oil changes (cheaper). Way better than going to a stealer!!!

Yep , I bought a lift, manual and oils and did the 10,000 service for less than what they wanted to charge me, I also replaced the rear tire cheaper by doing it my self Worht the money invested in tools.

Sounds like it is time to find another shop,(Indy). That is robbery. Hope you didnt do it.
Man, do I hear you brother. I found an indy guy that charges about a third of what the harley rip-offs charge and he'll talk to you all day long about what you want! There's plenty of guys like that and they make a good living dealing with people disgusted with harley dealers.
I've done my own, but the dealer here charges $10 more than what the oil & filter cost. So I usually have them do it when they inspect my bike. From there, I do it myself when needed.
