Got the call from HD/Danbury that my S3T is done (rockerbox gaskets and oil change). I posted on ATC regarding the total cost of $582 and the general consensus is that it is a bit steep. I figured I'd ask here as well. What do you think? Danbury has always been good for parts, service and generally very supportive of Buells, so I am willing to give them the benfit of the doubt, but like anybody else I don't enjoy being screwed. I am not jumping to conclusions. I will pick the bike up Saturday and talk to the service guys.

Service is 90 hr out here and the parts should have been less than 100,so 482 divided by 90= about 5 1/2 hours to change the oil and a couple gaskets--yeah, a bit steep.

Well I picked it up. Let them know that the price was a bit steep. They said 3 hours for gaskets (by the book according to them), and they charged 1+ hour for oil/primary change. So 4 hours at $100 per, plus parts and tax. It adds up, but it is still too expensive in my opinion. I'll do this sh!t myself from now on.

$100/hr.?! Time to find an independant shop.

Nobody deserves that kind of hourly money unless they are getting you out of jail.
