I have a bit of work that needs to be done to my bike and I am just wondering if there is significant savings by having an independant do the work - or is there a great risk. What is your experience/opinion of independants.
By the way, this is what I am looking at for work (dealer estimate is $899): purchase and mount of rear tire; check cam shoes (if bad shape, replace or possible upgrade to hydraulic); and a 20K service. I bought the bike used last year with 21,000 miles and it now has 31,000 - it is a 2000 RKC.
Thanks.

for 20k service I've been quoted in high 300s at one dealer, and mid 400s at another, in the DFW, Texas area.. that doesn't include tires, spark plugs or fork oil or anything like that.. I was told 25k is the biggie at around 600-650ish at the dealer; that's a consistent price quote in this area....
I'm thinking about doing the 3yr prepaid pkg at Adam Smith, currently priced at 2500, so that would be like 70/mo for 5yrs of unlimited miles prepaid / PPM....

wow, that's about the 10th thread I've seen that's 5+ years or older today, must be the moon or something : )
and I do use a local Indy for some work, to support local business, sometimes I'm just not feeling like doing some stuff, and he always has a cold beer : )
