Default Bike detailing
Has anyone had their bike detailed at the dealer and how much did it cost and did they do a good job?

No but why have it done at the dealer when i can promise you it will cost 3 time what it will for you to do it.
BTW I think us harley guys and gals call it washing the bike because detailing sounds like something a Lexus driver would say but that is just my .02 cents
