I was up at Laconia HD earlier today checking on handlebar options. For bike week they raise their labor rate to $99 an hour, and that was straight from Steve the service writer. Needless to say they didn't get my business. One of the vendors set up in their parking lot did, and I got better bars (in my opinion), installed for less money.

They could at least buy you dinner before they screw you!

ok, will someone enlighten me as to exactly what is a "repair belt" and how do you install/use it?
Also, $800 to replace a belt?!!!! What all is involved in replacing it? Remove rear tire and what?
Over 100K miles and have never replaced a belt before. thanks
