So..the starter clutch in the bike died this week. Finally put it in..got tired of push-starting.

Found out I had a dreid front motor mount, and my exhaust bracket was cracking (perhaps related due to excessive vibration?)

But the scariest, was seeing that a new starter for an almost 9 year old FXR3 is $366.00!!!!

That stung like hell. But damned if we ain't ruinning smoother now

[Puzzled]

For $366, chrome or black?

What did you put back in for a front motor mount?

I just replaced my wg3 starter ..chrome 1.4 KW one ran $435 with shipping from Zanotti's .. yeah OUCH
but it works better than the original ever did.. don't ya love those "upgrades"

As I recall a starter drive for this machine runs somewhere just over $100 + installation.

Paul,

Unfortunately parts ain't cheap...I trust you are enjoying the KC area, not to mention the weather v. MA.

Oh I knew that..but $366 for a starter is unbelieveable.

KC's great. The riders are plentiful. The cagers are good overall. There's this whole tornado thing, but thankfully they don't hit KC...often.

Well it's really not that bad - What is the bike worth without it? (Chrome boat anchor) It's a lot cheaper that the total cost of a NEW ride
