RE: Install costs
Your buddy was charged the average price:
I have a quote sitting right here from several dealers for my 07 superglide:
Vance hines Big radius
SE stage 1 ac
Power commander
dyno
Total::: $1550
I don't think so:::
I just bought my SE stage 1 yesterday at 15% off it cost me $120
I will get my PCIII from fuel moto for about $270
I will get my pipes from eastern performance $514
Total $904 a 12pack and its done $550 buck's saved to buy forward controls and gas and more beer.
The power commander comes pre loaded and ready to go from fuel moto and you get the software with it.
I am buying things pcs by pcs like said just picked up the AC yesterday get the pcIII and pipes in january after xmas and by spring and the snow clears we will be sounding bad *** and riding with some new toys.

RE: Install costs
I did mine myself and saved the $99/hr. that my overpriced (but good) dealer charges. I let them do some warranty work and the IDS because of the elbow grease discount.
NOTE: thoroughly clean your pipes with window cleaner before you fire up the bike. Any fingerprints or grease will be permanent if you don't.
When I installed the PCIII, I had to set the 0 throttle which should be done by everyone who uses one. It is simple if you have a laptop. Even if you use the fuelmoto PCIII with the correct map, it still needs to be done.

Just did my brother's '07 SG. We added Rhinehart tru-duals, Ness Big Sucker, and a PClll usb. Took us about 2.5 hrs and with the PClll it was tuned faster than you can say "It's tuned!!" Do the work yourself and enjoy the experience! Then save the $$$ you saved on labor for a 103" big bore kit!!

RE: Install costs
Yep..............the dealer is going to stick you on the parts and the labor both....Time to ween yourself from them.
You can do it with simple hand tools......and you can do it mo-better, mo-fasterif you know another biker who has done it already.

RE: Install costs
Unless you have a 08. Only one out for 08 is sert as far as i know (now that i am finished i don't keep up) and not so easy to tune but can be done and i prefer to have a dyno done by a machine rather than my ***. Worth the extra ducks to get it right for me.

RE: Install costs
Bro, Let me try to say it another way. I'm a Computer guy with very limited moto mechaninc skills.
My pipes took 45 mins reading directions.
PCIII 1 hour because I couldn't fine the front O2 sensor.
stage 1 a/c 30 mins just being slow
let the dealer do the map
DO the rest yourself
