I'm definitely curious about what a dealer charges for what is essentially a complete rebuild of a brand new motorcycle.

so you bought the bike, had the parts powder coated and they put it together for you? total cost?


So long as it's worth the $$ to the OP, what business is it to anyone else?
Just a statement buddy, I didn't say anything bad about the OP. You need to ease up on the butthurt.

I can't. I know they had to build a mount under it and they sent me pictures to see if I wanted it to sit higher or lower based on how it looked.
I don't know these types of things so that is why I had to have someone else do the work.

That may be but typically message boards are full of people that want to opine about how stupid it is that I would spend so much money when "they"
could have done it so much cheaper.

I will just say it was expensive but someone else made the comment and I agree with them that the value of the bike is what it means to me -
not anyone else. I sold my last bike (among other things) because we were rushed to get into a new house and didn't get to ride all last year so I was pretty happy to build an even better bike and finally get back on the road. To ME, this bike is perfect and so the amount that I paid for this work to be done was justified.
