Is this way too overpriced???
D&D fat cat-$725.00
Hiflo air cleaner-$150.00
H-D race tuner-$460.00
labor to install/dyno tune-$408.00
total-$1743.00
If you get the bike in here before Feb 1st I'll take 15% of parts and
labor, and we can pick up and deliver your bike for free. We do not
recommend the power commander and steer away from using them at all.We
tune with the H-D race tuner. Give me a call if you want to set something
up.
Quote is from the Harley dealer where I purchased my bike...any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

RE: Is this way too overpriced???
Ahhh yeah.
First the FatCat is all over ebay for like 570 something. http://www.easternperformance.com/in...oducts_id=1627
A Ness big sucker air cleaner kit is like 98 http://www.easternperformance.com/in...oducts_id=1206
You can install this stuff yourself for free, it's cake.
Nothing wrong with a powercommander, regardless you can get a better price on a HD race tuner..they can be had for like 350? I think...
Guys, can you buy the SERT at like Zanottis or chicagohd? Thats 20% right there...

I don't know the answer, but I will find out since I just bought a new bike on Saturaday and want to do the same mod's. I really would like to use a Thundermax Automatic but I have the warranty issues to think about. You might want to consider installing the pipes (same ones I'm going to get) and A/C yourself and save on some labor. Plus, have you shopped around for the parts, you may be better off if you shop the parts and install what you can and then let them do the mapping. Look at Chicago Harley, and see if thier 20% off and no sales tax will bring you lower on the parts bill. But $1700. is a lot of money no matter how you cut it, let us know what you find out and decide to do.

You can get a fatcat on ebay for around $550 delivered and also get a high-flow filter (k&n, se, big sucker, etc..) for under $130 and a power commander III for around $270 and than install it yourself and take it to a dyno to have them tune in the power commander for around $150 and you will save yourself around $700.

If I do what I can do by myself....does that void the warranty in anyway???

Yes, you can buy the SERT from Zanotti et al. for 20% off.
You can install the stuff yourself or bring it to the dealer and pay their shop rates to have it done.
If you go with the SERT, have the dealer do the re-mapping of your ECM and get a copy of what was loaded and the print-out of the dyno chart to confirm that the bike was properly tuned.
