Sure is expensive...

I just called my local HD dealer for prices on some parts. I have 30,000 miles on my 05 EGS, and so I decide I was going to do the service myself. I figured I would go ahead and change the Brake Pads also. Front and rear.

The list consited of:
O-rings for the drain plugs
Front and Rear Pads
Air Filter
Oil Filter
2 Spark Plugs
Derby and Primary Chain Inspection gaskets
I over 180.00 Dollars.

That does not include the Oils yet. Man is that about right? Should I be looking some place else? I figure if I got the Amsoil 20W50 and the Spector Trans fluid and Primary Chain fluid. It will be over 200.00 dollars for all that stuff. :newsmile038:

Did you get a free coffee?
 
No I didn't get free coffee or doughnuts. I did get this slippery feeling on my back side though. Still trying to figure that one out. I wonder if I sat on something. Thing is I didn't feel it until I took out the wallet. Is that normal? :(

How about a "break-down" on what they were charging per item???? What kind of brake pads , I'm guessing it was HD filters??
 
Yeah, you should be looking somewhere else or doing the work yourself. HD dealers are cutting their own throats but theres a month long wait for anything at the local dealer. Go Figure.
 
Tell me about it.
Total cost for me was $1049.00 ...I kid you not ..Still have the bill at home.
I removed both rims off the bike and handed then to the HD dealer.

This is what they done:

Put on 2 new Mezelers (standard) tires.
Replaced front and rear bearings, with grease.
Replaced both nipples
Balanced both tires

I cant imagine what they would have charged if I brought in the bike and charged the extra labour to mount both tires.
 
I would like to see the price list of whatthey charged you for each part?

This is why I wish I would have found this site and read some of these posts before I bought my bike. I would have bought a Mustang intead. the bad thing is; that three our labor is probably "book time" actual time is probably half of that. Maybe!
