how many hours of labor did u get charged?
The dealer has my bike installing a 103" stage ii kit. They were offering a discounted hourly labor rate for a few months. They are charging me 10 hours labor to do the install. I thought i have read some of you guys saying that you were charged 8 hours. This should be a set number of hours. they reduced there normal shop rate of 70 per hour to 59.50 per hour. 70 X 8 is 560$ 59.50 x 10 is 595$ am i a dummy or what?

8 hours is what I was told today by my indy....

If they truly do good work wouldn't get too bent on 2 hours labor .. rather pay 600.00 once and never have to worry than 400.00 and have problems, then always worry thereafter..

i agree jay, i just dont want to be taken advantage of.

I was quoted 10hrs as well for my 95" upgrade. Iam sure some has to do with, what all you are having done.

10 hours to do pistons?
Are you kiddin' me? My Indy charges 6 hours...and he actually gets it done in about 5. Then again, he's a wrench. Those guys at dealerships are for the most part, fresh out of MMI. |
I have been quoted 10 hrs when doing big bore + cams. Big bore = 5 and cams =5. Both dealers and indy's have quoted the same hours so I guess that what the "book" shows.

wow dealer here in Canada charges 10 hours at $110 /hour Cdn. plus 3 hours for dyno
$1500 total, about $1200 US |
I guess the cams, clutch upgrade, tuner, exhuast, air cleaner, and the rest all just happen after the 5 hrs. Iam tired of the "my Indy is better than your HD mechanic" line. My HD mechanic builds for the V-rod racing team, that has won several titles, so I think he knows what he is doing.

Some are lucky to have VRod builders, while others have run of the mill Cert. H-D mech's. I'm lucky to have all of the above (except the VRod thing) within 50 miles of me. |
