I just bought 2010 Road Glide denim black. Dealer quoted me 3300 dollars fro 103 kit with compression release in each head, D&D fat cat exhaust, stage 1 intake, dyno tune time. is this a good price, them putting intake and exhaust on for free since they have to take apart anyway to do 103 build. If done within the first 3 months of purchase will be covered under the 5 year warranty your thoughts, god or bad
He wants to know if that includes any head work (besides the compression releases) and any cams. Also, what compression kit? 10:1, 10.5:1? I assume that includes a SEST for the dyno tune?
I'd say that it's about $600-800 too high, you're looking at $1800-1900 in parts the D&D Fat Cat is pricey for the 2010's, & you should be looking at another $700-800 for install & tuning. Sorry to say you should've done a little more shopping around for a friendlier dealer, this one does sound more like a stealer. You can shop around at another dealer for the 103 install, but not sure you will get the warranty if the selling dealer doesn't do the install. You're still better off talking to a few other dealers to compare price, if nothing else you can take the other offers back to the original dealer & see if he'll match their price, if he wants to keep your business he should. I'd have said to look at having an indy shop do it, but it looked like he wanted to keep the warranty.
