why are you asking? Any thoughts about doing installs? I asked one of the progressive guys at the laughlin rally how much it costs to install and he said it wasn't his problem.

 

I'm hoping my next major upgrade will be the monotube kit and the rear shocks also....damnit, now I may have to add in the chrome front end (too lazy to do the labor myself and that is something I'd like to do)

 

Love the attitude! I want that guy selling my products!

 

That's what I left thinking too.

 

I have a set of monotubes and the dealer made every excuse not to install them. So they are still on the shelf!

 

I paid i think $279 for the monotubes at phatbaggers i think phat something at least. Never did the lowers so I don't know what to tell you there, I would just do it yourself, it gives you a chance to really know your bike, and really isn't that hard of an install I think it took me maybe 6 hours and that was with beer breaks and not knowing what I was doing. Also gives you a chance to inspect the brakes, tire, and lube everything up.

 

How about I buy the beer and ride over and you can help me.

 

$500+ for the chrome front end kit from HD, $259 for race tech gold valve emulators. 4 hours labor @ $63 per hr = $252.

Total = around $1,100. (for a 2001 FLHT)

Oh and for those of you thinking chrome frontend don't forget that you will need to get the chrome rotars, chrome calipers, wheels etc...

Then once you do the front suspension upgrades, then of course you have to do the rear and I went with Ohlins there.

All this started with me wanting $259.00 front suspension upgrade haha.

 

Find it hard to believe one of the rally guys told you it was not his problem. We do share an install area with several other brands and often refer install questions to them, but anything to do with our product is ultimately our responsibility!

The original request for info was to help solve an internal question regarding time and $ alloted by a dealer for a Monotube install and how many of them are combined with chrome leg installs.

 

Can you PM the dealer info to us? We have a team of techs traveling the country training dealers, sounds like maybe these guys have been neglected.
