2007 saleen harley 90k service-$$$ please help

Could someone with greater knowledge than myself confirm a quote i got on maintenace. The guy i talked with is ford all the way and knows his stuff.

I got a quote of 1350 for engine flush, radiator flush, thermostat, plugs, boots, fuel filter, oil change(fully syn), saleen blower maintenace and oil, and o2 sensor.

What do you think guys?

It's recommended to change the fluid at 100,000 under normal usage. More often if you tow.

I have no idea about what service of a super charger shoud run, but a plug change would be about $350, a coolant flush about $150.

Sounds like a decent deal considering the plugs alone can be that much if all 8 break. I would have him remove the engine flush cost and skip it since your more likely to end up with VCT and phaser issues after the flush. Other than that it's a resonable deal if your not doing it yourself.

With labor/parts/fluids that's about right.

Changing the thermostat is going to be a big job as I think the blower has to be removed to get to the cross over to remove the thermostat.
