I feel for you, I've been there. The only people that will lay a hand on my bike is my dealer. I know that's against what a lot of people say but I'm really lucky to have the relationship I have with my dealer. An Indy screwed me too. Fvcking crook charged my 6 hours of labor for "R&D" (i.e. looking through magazines and ****).
