How much ? Brake fluid change in 1150 & heated grips.

[luke scott]

So the main dealers here in Dublin are always going on about their "rates" now being in line (cheaper) so I decided to see how they are now.
I need a set of heated grips replaced & their price was €358 including cables
Replace brake fluid in complete abs system (servo) €171.46
I suspect the independent here will be a good bit cheaper if he ever quotes me.

Well, we had this discussion and it depends what your looking for from them. I need a courtesy bike. It's a deal breaker for me. I love the way they can quote it down to the cent!!! I'm interested in what you get quoted by {^~%

A new set of grips (i think they come with wires attached - just need to attach the plug to the end) costs 150 euro ex vat from motorworks or 180 euro vat included (and i might be wrong but do they pay the vat as a business?). 358 seems a lot to remove the old ones and thread the cable through the bars and attach the old plug... I might be wrong. Maybe there is something else to it!

What is the hourly rate for the stealer these days?

No idea about the grips but changing the brake fluid on a servo system is not hard work. An hour or at most 1.5 hours should be more than enough so I would say the quote is a little high.
