I have a receipt from the PO of my bike for $1000. He got two tires and an oil change.

Yup, and the wrench that is getting paid to do it harnesses even less.

I guess it depends on what comprises an "oil change" . If it's all three oils plus filters and gaskets, plus labor time, then it's not a bad price for it to be done at the dealership.

I just looked at the Harley website and it's $75 for the 4 qt SYN kit alone.
