Default WTF ?

I've read a lot of post about 103 builds and the dyno sheets. I also see the cost. So why is it that my Harley dealer hit me for all this ? He told me I needed 103 jugs. pro performer heads. SE lifters. 37G cams. 10:5.1 pistons. And charged me $4500 for it and the dyno reads 100/87 . Why do I feel like I got riped off big time ? Did my dealer lie to me about my build ?

Got reinharts . I'm telling you right now. I really don't feel like i can trust my dealer at all anymore. I went over it with him three times what i wanted. Can't understand why such a high charge.

Well here's what pisses me off so bad. After the build (AFTER) He tells me i will only get around 40K out of the engine build and i only have a ninety day warranty. I called Harley and they said it was between the store and me, but the bike warranty was void now. I cant tell you how pissed i am for this. i lost my warranty and got riped.

Lots of research necessary before we make changes like that. Especially if we let the dealer play with our bikes... I was pissedat whatI paid for the stage one download and for the dealer to install slip ons. It was a waste of money to have them do anything. Oh well if I knew then what I know now... Next time I will be wiser

Thats why you have to seek out a engine builder or do the build yourself, the guys at HD are part changers... very exspensive part changers!!!!

I am a little curious, did you have this dealer do this build before you came on the Forum and read about different great builds?
