Default Big Radius and 1200 conversion prices

Hi guys. I'm going to be doing the 1200 conversion on my Iron with the Vance & Hines Big Radius exhaust in the next week or so. The best price I've found for the Big Radius is $611.95 and for the HD 30003-10 conversion $943.75.

The Harley dealership in Kewanee, IL will do the install for around $400 which sounds fair.

Has anybody found a better price for either of these items?

Any recommendations on the air cleaner?

Sounds like a decent price for that 1200 upgrade. Where did you find the kit that cheap?

I should have mentioned that I'm going with the flat black Big Radius.

I worked mine into the deal. Got short shots and the conversion for 1179 and didnt have to pay for labor on the motor work. Talk to them and see what theyll do if you throw cash at them. Money talks in ways we cant

There's NO WAY I'm going to get anywhere close to that deal. I didn't buy the bike from them so there isn't any "working it into the deal" unfortunately.

At the price you got it appears they gave you an exhaust for free, labor for free and $21 off the price of the conversion kit...plus zero tax!

You made out great!

that is a good price for the 1200 kit. remember you will need a tuner upgrade also unless that was included in the dealers quote. they like to sneak that in on you once the work is done with something like you will also need to recalibrate your ecm for it to run properly.

I don't need the 1200 kit since, but I just got a quote today from a local mechanic for the V&H Big Radius, Fuel Pak, and air intake installed for about $1050.00. Thinking I may bite the bullet and do it.
