Beleive it or not you can do the work yourself, I am no exeperienced mechanic but did all the work on my bike myself.... headers, slipons, SE Air Cleaner, and PC III I felt better doing it myself. But the parts are still pricey.

RE: WTF?
The difference in the heat on your right leg is amazing with true duals, not to mention hearing the bike in stereo, it'll sound so much better you won't beleilve it. If you're going to put a tuner of some kind on it, you had just as well put a free flowing breather on the bike, that right there is what will really make a difference in the way your bike runs. It won't even seem like the same machine. There was a pc111 in the classifieds for 200 yesterday. and I've seen em for 150.00 at different times. If you'll watch the classfieds you can get every thing you need at a good price. Folks buy the parts put them on and then see something else they think they'll like better and put the other stuff up for sale. It happens all the time. Lotta times they throw the shipping in free. I've had great luck buying from members here. Getting great deals on like new stuff every time. Hell I bought an 07 883KL with 122 miles on it with a windsheild to boot for 6600. I love this place theres a lottsa good folks here that are willing to help answer any questions.

RE: WTF?
If I were on a budget or wanted to get the biggest bang for the dollar, i'd put on a set of Rinehart Slip ons (best style and sound around) and change the air breather for somethine like a Ness or Screamin Eagle, then get a decent tuner. I'd spend more the tuner cause a good tuner (such as DTT and Thundermax Auto Tuners) allow you to tune and tweak the bike yourself by logging in with a laptop or PC. Now you can ride a while, add some more upgrades such as cams, cylinders, or heads down the road and your tuner will allow you to make changes for the upgrades without the need to have your bike professionally tuned or mapped like a SERT.
Read up on the forums here. take your time and don't rush. Last thing i'd say is tell that dealer you like to be kissed before they try F***ing you like they did. That's out of line with that number of 2100.00. Maybe 1400 would be more in line including a sert and dyno time.
