Just picked my bike up today.
Cost was $900.
For that I got:
* 2 new tires installed
* 15,000 mile service
* New brakes all around
Did I get screwed or did I do ok.
I do not have the tools, knowledge, or time to do the work myself.
Riding season is coming and I do not want to be in the shop then, so I did it now.

you did just fine. don't listen to all these guys that do their own work. that dealer has a lot of money tied up in his business...and a lot of mouths that are dependent on him to put food on their table and a roof over their head. the dealer cannot make a living just selling new bikes. every dollar you spend helps to stimulate the economy. the dealer has a mortgage to pay, taxes, insurance, utilities, etc.. they deserve a good return on their investment.

I would need to know how many hours and at what price per hour to have an opinion about this.
Do they not give itemized bills where you get your work done?

I'm having a Tour Pak quick change kit installed on my 2 week old (tonight) '11 FLHTK next Saturday. Paid $600 tonight for the kit and wiring harness. The install will cost is $300, $75/hour x 4 hours. Could I do it myself? Yep. Feel like frigging with it? Nope, too cold. Drop it off Saturday morning at 8:30, go eat a little breakfast and piddle for 4 hours, grab a bite of lunch, load it on the trailer, haul it home and let's roll.

..are you saying just the detachable hardware, plus quick-disconnect wiring is $600?..or does that include a tour-pack box too?.. and 4 hours to install?......I made my EG Classic tour pack detachable for about $200 I think for the hardware...and I did it myself in about 1 hour...
