Default Lesson Learned

Well, in my previous posts about my ABS issues on my 08 Electra Glide UC I was fairly frustrated and ready to bypass and ditch the ABS.

I left my bike with my mechanic and a day later he lets me know it was done.

He found a previous wire repair that separated. He cycled the ABS pump multiple times to make sure it was doing what it needed to and all is right with the world.

Total cost was $80 for a few hours of labor.

That's a pretty good price for "a few hours." Most shops are over $100 for one hour.

He does really good work and only charges $40 an hour on stuff he provides.

If you provide the parts he charges $70.

It helps him warranty his work that way he knows what he is using to do the job.
