Default How much to replace all this?

Is $1400 to much to pay a dealer for parts and labor to replace stock cams, chain, bearings, lifters, plate, better oil pump, hydraulic tension shoes on a TC88? ( 2001 Road King )Or is that about right?

I had about $840.00 into that on a 05 RKC a year ago. I did the work myself and bought a few tools to.

sounds about right with the upgrade kit, cams, installation kit and labor...
before you spend any money check out the thread on Cam Chain tensioners in the soft tail forum

I got quoted $1700 in labor alone from Patriot Harley in Fairfax, VA. I had emailed and said I found the kit online that includes new cams, plate, oil pump, adjustable pushrods and all gaskets. When they wrote back with that labor rate, I was like Uh yeah no thanks. I ended up selling my Softail and buying the Street Glide before I actually got it done.

800 sound about right minus that oil pump piece.

I was quoted $1400 at Rocky Mountain H-D. And the service manager is a friend. Included 2 hrs dyno time. Did it myself. $700 for the kit thru American Classic Motors with Andrews cams.
