Default Anyone price a 3 hole change at the dealer lately?

Called three local-ish Harley dealers and got three different prices:
A) $289+ tax…
B) $330+ tax…
C) $530+ tax…
Quite the variance for an hour in each direction. As much as I like to be lazy and like an excuse for a ride it’s getting ridiculous and had to get on the garage floor.

For me it is more effort to bring bike to dealer, have someone follow, take you home and reverse.

For just 5k it easier to do yourself IMO.

I created giant spreadsheet. No one says you have to all at once. I do plugs when I feel like it, lube when I remember

Question Cost of maintenance?

`
I bought 4 quarts of HD360 SAE 50W oil, and 3 quarts of Formula + oil just the other day. It cost me $103.71

So NAPA currently has Mobil 1 20w50 V-twin on sale for $9.99qt. Got a chrome oil filter and O-ring/derby cover gasket kit, picked up 2 qts of Formula+ for the primary and a qt of HD 80w90 for the transmission.
Last monkey that installed the oil filter had to tighten as hard as he could on purpose. The Harley filter end cap wrench wouldn’t even budge it. I had to take off the oil cooler and voltage regulator and still it was an hour long battle with a strap wrench.
I was into this 3-hole for $110 all-in.

When did you get rid of the SGS?
