I posted this in exhaust, but I'd like to get more feedback.
Stopped by the dealer to book 1000 mile service. Got into stage one talk.
These are the items to be installed along with the 1000 mi. service:
-V&H Power Duals
-Bassani mfflers
-a/c
-HD orange tuner
-Dyno
Now here is the price: $2000 What yall think?
FLHTK 2011 103
Is that about $1600 for parts and about $400 for labor? If so, try to get them to give you a 15 percent discount on parts. Or wait until they have a discount on parts as most HD dealerships do at different times of the year. Sometimes dealers only give 10 percent off on third party parts.
I paid about $1,700 for my stage 1 at Sturgis last year with Rinehart doing it all - extreme duals, 4" slip-ons, high flow air filter, at their version of a PCV. The main reason I did the stage 1 was to get rid of the cat in the head pipe. Runs way too hot in the heat of the summer.
Guys, please don't forget that he is having the 1000 mile service included in that price. For them doing the work, I don't think that they are far off the mark. Try and squeeze them for some reduction in labor if you can, but I would agree to go for it.
