Good looking bike. As long as you're happy with the price that's all that matters. Some folks don't want to wrench on their bikes. Your choice.

I do agree with the earlier post that the price doesn't seem like a special to me. I bought mine online for a little over $400 and did it myself in a couple of hours. They charged you retail plus a pretty good chunk of labor to install.

Again your dollar so I'm not criticizing you.

Don't worry about spending the $$$, you now can call yourself a job creator.

$525 for the Power Vision with tune
$80 for grips
$250 for highway pegs
$750 for chrome front end with install
$400 for the 1000 mile service
$180 for the windshield
$350 for the c&c seat
......that's over $5k in one year!

And you probably have less than 5000 miles on it

Chrome front end kit: $460 (20% off MSRP)
1k mile service $400 (Wow! Glad mine was included with my bike)

$860

$1200 total
-$860

=$340 labor.

I'm starting to wonder where the "special" was. What is thier normal labor rate, and how many hours did they quote you to do it?

Did you use the first sentence of the original post to deduce that?

wow, very nice wifey.

For the guys who want to save a few $$$ for another mod,
you can strip & polish the lowers takes a few hours and a few beers.
I have done a couple of my bikes, looks pretty good when completed.
