Default Questions about S83

I am pretty close to getting an S83. I like the look of the smaller radiator and plan on doing some 2-up riding. I have a couple of questions...

First, what should I expect to pay. I have been to the local dealer, they always tell me MSRP, but I haven't started haggling about price. I read old topics that suggest that $1000 off MSRP is about right. Any comments. Any suggestions on dealers in the Dallas/FtWorth area?

Second, what do I need to do to this bike to get the best performance. I like the quiet sound of the stock pipes, so I probably won't change them. But do I need to rejet? Reset timing? K&N? etc.

Thanks. Tom
