Anyone know what the average H-D/Buell service folks charge to replace a set of rocker box gaskets on an XB? Trying to decide if it's worth my time to do it myself.

Save money, and get a little more intimate with the scoot!

Appreciate the suggestion, but have already changed more Sportster/Buell rocker box gaskets than I want to think about. These days can afford to have it done by someone else if it's not some stupid $$$. Tired of working on/fixing stuff, want to ride......

Not so much the money but the WAIT to have it done. I'd ask them what the wait is for the job. I'm thinking it could be a couple weeks. At least all the gaskets WILL BE in stock.

I think it's on the order of a $250-$300 job... but somebody closer to dealer/service-writer would know better.

Or you could have it done by someone... to have it leaking a year later and then feel like a tool for spending the money.... DAMHIK...

My $.02:

Find a reputable independent wrench, and keep in mind the "holy trinity" of getting something done-

Fast, Cheap, Good: everyone wants all 3, but you can only pick 2 in reality...
