Thumbs up New Bars

Today went to the dealer to get a new set of bars for my 2011 Road Glide Ultra.. well after checking things,, parts 380+ and 8 hour shop time to change the bars,, Got home checked internet,, got bars and all parts for under $225 and neighbors son will install for $150!!! Nice to have a kid that has been to the institute with certificate to work on Harley and even OLD Harley bikes.

Amazing. It is just painful to buy from the dealer. I really like to support my local dealer or anyone local that has something for sale that I need. But when they try and screw you it changes your mind.
Glad you found a good mechanic, and next door is close.
Good luck.
Ray

Yeah, it really amazes me how much some of the dealers want for a handle bar swap. I was quoted similar here in Vegas to have the bars on my Ultra swapped; I called a dealer 100 miles away in AZ and was quoted half! I took a ride to AZ and had it done.

I'd love to support my local dealer as soon as they return the favor. Until then its parts on-line and service in my garage or AZ
