Fork service pricing

[snrusnak]

I have a question for you guys that had your forks rebuilt in the $80 price range....how the heck is that possible if the parts are $40 some dollars? And that doesn't even include fluid...

they are 40.00 from hd/buell sites the seals for my forks were billed out to me from an import shop at around 20.00 bucks. that left 60.00 for 30-40 min job

I see. On ASB the both pairs of seals, slide bushings, guide bushings, and dust covers are about $40. I'd expect fluid to be another $10-$20.

I showed the guy at the shop ecmspy and he said he should even be able to tune my bike for me. I'll see how much he wants to help me with it, he seems very interested (never worked on buells). I have a feeling he'd even be willing to help me out at little charge to learn a little on buells.

ok I know bikebandit doesn't list buell/harley. I'm not comfortable enough to order parts that don't specifically go to the bike. Thanks for the help though but I'll order them from ASB I know they'll fit and I can afford it right now...
