Default Dealer price for 103 conversion?

what would a average price be for a dealer installed 103 kit for a 2010 RK with the 96? Parts, labour etc incl the compression release, new cams and Dyno
Is the oil cooler necessary? SE catalog doesn't say that but all new 103's come with one.
Please just give me dealer averages, I'm not going to a Indy because right now HD will include the 103 kit on my extended warranty and I'm not doing it myself.I do most of my own work but I'm not doing this.
Please no slagging dealers, you may have had bad luck but I have had a really good relationship and service from my dealer.
If you have had the conversion done, was it worth it?

Unsure if you have pipes etc.
you are prolly looking at 2500.00 after you include the oil cooler,compression releases and the tuner.
Hopefully you can the parts at a good price if you can catch a sale!

$4000?! I hope its worth keeping that warranty at more than double the cost of FM 107 installed...

$4k? Man, if I was about to plop down 4 grand I'd consider the cost of a 120r. $6k-7k and you can sell your current engine to offset the cost.

A lot of dealers have winter specials. I've seen $999 dealer specials for a big bore install in both Indiana and Wisconsin in previous years.

You don't need an oil cooler if you have a stage 1 and the bike is properly tuned.

Good luck.

Most dealers run a special at ~$1,600 for the kit installed. Add $400-$1000 for a tuner and ~$300.00 for dyno. You don't need compression releases for a 103 unless you are raising the compression to 10:1 or more.

But! Don't waste your money on a dealer kit. Go to Fuel Moto and get some real power.

No doubt,
I am a huge FM 107" advocate, and had I not bought a new bike in July my 07 would have gotten the FM kit.
