I dont know about your dealers but ours charge $90 an hour right now. At that rate you cant afford to have anything done by them. Find a local guy or someone on the forums and it will save you a ton.

shipping, is going to be killer for me. Shipping things like the swing arm, fork sliders, rims, oil bag, risers, bars, and tripple tree. Thats like 150 lbs of stuff right there if not 200 lbs. So a local guy its going to have to be. And Im going to get to know my bike very well, because Ill be the one taking it all apart and putting it all back together.
