can anyone tell me what the bc pipes should cost and how long it should take the dealer to install?

Retail is $649.95. I purchased through my dealer and got my 10% off. The page for the pipes is found here...

Install time should be right around an hour. It's a very simple install. I did it myself in about an hour. The heat shields are the only remotely tricky bit. If you get the dealer discount that should just about cover the install time/fee.

thanks for the info. i did see the information on both sites and that is what got my interest. i would love a little more sound from my pipes. here is another question.... can i change the pipes without a lift and on my garage floor or does the bike need to be raised?

No lift needed. The kickstand side requires a bit of laying down to get to the clamps but that's it. That really is the only trick at all. Everything else is shown in the BC install video.

I just had mine installed today. I had the dealer install them because I needed them to load the TOR tune anyway and I'm still a little shy about taking my wrenches to my shiny new toy.

The pipes cost me $595 and the labor cost me $135. Part of the labor was to fix a sticking throttle (more about that in a separate thread). They charged 1.5 hours of labor so I'm guessing 1 hour for the pipe installation. My mechanic charges $90/hour. My confidence in them is growing with each visit. They've really taken good care of me so far.

By the way, I absolutely love the way these pipes sound! They're not obnoxiously loud and actually quite tame at idle and low idle. When you "get on it" or during decelerations the sound is absolutely marvelous! I'm happy with the purchase and looking forward to some Tuneboy tunes for them.

Glad you finally got them installed. Just in time for the weekend. Should be some good riding weather this weekend (at least a bit further South than you) They really are great pipes.

You really shouldn't of worried about installing them though. They don't get much easier than these pipes.

I guess I'll look for your throttle thread but that sounds like warranty work to me.
