View Full Version : M/C rear shock install
Hi guys, looking at putting new rear shocks on my '14 HD FXDF. Any suggestions on a good independent shop and what I should expect to pay? The dealer is quoting me 1 hour/$120. Thanks.
I do mine myself but I'm handy that way.
You might hit up Tfogger. He owns a shop on the south side of town.
Tfog is in golden near colorado mills mall

Yeah. Not too far from the fairgrounds if I remember correctly.

People gotta eat.
OR
Ride up here, pick tools do it yourself, ride home 1 hr later. That doesn't include time if they're adjustable shocks.

Less than a mile from the grounds. Very close to 6th Ave and Indiana.
Thank you all. I spent a brief period as a mechanics assistant at an Alfa Romeo/Fiat dealer in my teens and appreciate the fees dealers charge. I'm also realist and if I can save some coin working with someone that has an independent shop or the tools to help me out I'd rather go that route. As it is I get 10% off parts purchases at the dealer.
I know smchop works on bikes and he's in Highlands Ranch area. Super dude, too.

I swapped my rear shocks a couple of months ago, I was literally done and riding it in 20 minutes. It's just 4 bolts on and off, then if they are adjustable take a minute and set the preload.
No reason to pay someone to do it.
I can usually do a LOT better than the dealer on parts, and I try to be pretty reasonable on labor as well. Gimme a holler Tuesday (closed today and tomorrow) 303-216-2400.
