I just bought the Warrior and am thinking about the new pipes. Someone mentiond that I should save the money that the dealer is going to charge (3 hours of Labor/$210) and try to install the pipes in myself.
I am not a mechanic and am not even sure if I have the proper tools.
However, the Pipes come with instructions by Vance and Hines and the PCIII is said to be used without the need for a mechanic.
Do You think that this is something I can do on my own????
If I save the money that means I can saveup for a pretty raw tire!
Ideas or thought. it is brand new and I bought the extended warranty not even sure if that is something that would be void if my little hands start screwing around.
You guys were not kidding when you said I would have support. The emails have poored in and I am grateful.
Well several people have said that installing it should be something that I should do, but i simply fear doing something wrong and then having to pay for the dealer to fix it anyway.
However, I have been doing some price shopping on the web and local dealers, in defence of my dealer I may have spoke to soon.
The pipes cost 540, PCIII 340 (according to most dealers and the internet). Other dealers around the area want to charge between $375-$425 for installing the pipe and PCIII.
The dealer that sold me the Warrior said did quote me $270 for the PCIII, and 460 for the pipes. He also is giving me another $50 bucks off a Scorpion Helmet.
So now im thinking that my dealer is quite reasonable and is helping me out with the additional money he is taking off. He said the rate for install would be for time he knows he has spent on previous bikes making sure the machine works to its best ability.
If i decide pay someone do it, this dealer by far is the best price around. Still undecided about taking this challenge on solo.
Either way THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT.
