Just got a quote on some upgrades for my iron and wanted to get some feedback on the price,

 

Below is a list of things that I wanted to do

883 - 1200 conversion, including fuelpak, dyno, SE heavy breather - $3460

Install 12 inch mini apes, cables ect - $1205

Coil and ignition relocation (I already brought the kit from dark customs, just needs to be installed) - $242

Harley Davidson 2up shocks - $355

 

Total cost on the quote is just under $5300.

They charged $600 a piece for labour on both the conversion and the install of the bars..

I know the dealers charge a little more but as I am about as handy with a set of tools as Frank Spencer I like the peace of mind that it will be done properly (please don't shatter this illusion with horror stories)

I just wanted to feel a feel for if I am really getting gouged or just paying a little over the odds......

 

thanks in advance

 

cheers

3 and a half for the 1200 upgrade seems a bit steep, but needs doing right.1200 for the bars is an arse raping. So is the coil and ignition relocation. Don't know how much the shocks cost, but you're talking a jack, four bolts, and half an hour. I take it you're getting a fuelpak cos you've got V & H pipes. See if you've got cash to go to a pcv, or similar, more tunability. And hopefully someone lives near you to help out with the apes & coil / key relo, and save you a gorilla. Less beer.

I bought the NRHS 1250cc kit from USA for $600USD, however it was cheaper at the time. I also bought Andrews N4 Cams from them and had the lot including shipping was $1050USD. Had P & L instal the kit for about $600 bucks.........so theoretically that cost me about $1700 to do upgrade, cams and tune the bike.

With regard to the pipes, SE breather and fuel pack............not too sure, I bought all of my gear from the States for about $450USD and had it installed by a HD Dealer for under $200.

The handle bars are an absolute fucker to do, particularly if you are changing from a standard size to longer and they need to adjust wiring harnesses. If you're getting bars, cables, installation and the whole thing done for $1200 its probably not that bad.......would have said $900-$1000 dependent on the qaulity of the cables they have installed. If you're getting all diamond black HD stuff, its quite expensive.

I agree with Dark, the shocks are easy to install and so is the coil relocation. Here's a link to a Youtube clip that I used to do the coil relocatoin, the guys is reasonably thorough and funny as fuck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSd85mlVJC8.

I would say you're getting smashed.....................................................

i'll install the bars, tank lift and shockers for $500 for you.

been offline for a few days, thanks for all the feedback, will have to think about it....

cheers
