IMO, those prices are NOT out of line. 15 and more years ago when I did the Major service on my Classic 900s, the PARTS ALONE cost me nearly $500 at a dealer.
A Major service should include:
all filters
Oil change
Spark Plugs
Cap, Rotor, Wires for the ignition (speaking of wires, I'll only use OEM Bougicords or, if you're into aftermarket, Magnecor wires. I won't even bother with the rest, including Bosch...)
All (4) belts.
And inspect: hoses, tires, balljoints, suspension bushings, etc.
Pricing these out at Eeuroparts comes to $141 for the major service parts, plus a rebuilt alternator for $206. These calculations don't include fluids, shop expendables, or LABOR. Also, parts prices can vary, AND ultimately, as a consumer you'll pay the full retail price, not a discounted price like that in most cases. Labor around me (Central NJ) ranges from $80 per hour at a good independent, to $125 and more at a Saab dealer.
Good luck!
