I've only done one, it took the best part of 8 hrs. It is the last part to come out and the first to go in!! There is a hell of a lot of parts to and gaskets, oils etc to be r&r between. The job requires special sockets etc to remove the pulleys etc.
If you can't do the work yourself, find an independant locally, their labor rates will or should be substantially less than a dealer. Fastrider124

You could give a little information...

Maybe tell us what the symptoms are, and what year and model bike?

Like Dan says! Tell us more, so we can help you more.

The location of that spring inside the trans on big twins has changed over the years. Early Evos require taking the primary off to get the trans gearset out. Later bikes are said to be easier to get at, but it is still time consuming.
