Adding this Forum to my Resume.

Been living on the Dyna Forum for a long time now, but I just went up to the closest dealer to me in K.C. and played hardball with them on a new FLHX. I did shop around somewhat. Turned the tables on them, I think, on why I wanted to pay what I wanted to for a new bike. It was a "brutal" 3 hour session. Told the floor manager I'd do 19.3 on a BBP with cruise only. After a little persuasion, he agreed. Then I told him I wanted to go 15% off on all installed parts and 10% on labor. He waffled somewhat but when I listed what I wanted to add and that I had the checkbook in my truck he went over to the parts counter, back to the service dept., and we came to the terms on the items I wanted and sealed the deal. Going with a Stage III Upgrade kit, SE camplate and oil pump, CNC machined heads, V&H power duals, Monster Rounds and a SE A/C. Just gotta wait for about 2 weeks for the heads to come back from the MOCO. The best part of this story is.............. I still get to keep my '10 FXDWG. I've got the best of both worlds now, Ma. "Top O' the World Ma." Won't have a final total 'til then on the price OTD but their #1 Wrench could only smile when talking about the numbers this setup should produce. Ain't wintertime wonderfull.

"Wrench could only smile when talking about the numbers this setup should produce."

Would he be referring to HP(horsepower) or DP(dealership profit)?

Seriously, congratulations. Sounds awesome.

You may only be getting 15% off of full list prices on parts and accessories.

I was happy with the deal. Didn't gouge them and they didn't gouge me. I bought my WG from them 3 years ago, so we do know one another. The smile the Wrench has is for the TQ/HP. Yeah, I put Torque first because that's what really counts. Are there better setups out there? Maybe. But the MOCO has a new policy/warranty aimed at their performance mods installed by their Techs in their shops. 15% here and 10% there allows me to plan future additions. I'll put up some pics and numbers when she comes home in a week or two.
