I bet any shop you take it to hasn't worked on a Shovel in years and their mechanics probably weren't even born when your bike was built. Most owners do their own wrenching. Buy the factory service manual and parts manual, it has all the steps in stripping the bike for repair. You should be able get an idea on what is involved. If you plan to keep the bike invest in the manuals and buy a clutch puller, you will need one eventually.

Plus 1 on above -- the book calls for a tool to set the shift forks as well, we teach in my shop you can use the trans lid to set them it does take some practice, if your plan is to OH the unit just ask lots of guys on this shovel site have done them and can help, But very few shops today have shim selections in stock but its still snowing so help with that can happen as well --

true that ! You'll probably have to find an independent. I wrench myself. It's not hard as long as you have tools and a place to lift your scoot. Not to mention the most important part, the MANUAL !
but, I would bet an indy would bill for 5-6 hrs.
