I have a some excuses, maybe one will stick:and it took you a year? WTF!!!!!!
R
1) I don't ride in the winter up here so it's been outta sight/outta mind
2) It was just preventative maintenance, I didn't really have any concerning symptoms that made it urgent
3) After last spring's disaster, I thought maybe it was a sign from above that this was a job best left to a shop
4) I forgot that I bought the ratcheting 8mm wrench that I needed and was procrastinating buying what (I thought) I needed
I could go on and on..........
I called a local dealer to see what they wanted in labor to do the job since I already had the parts. When he told me it would be 2.5hrs/ $270, I decided to get motivated.
I don't know how they think it would take them that long in a motorcycle shop; I did it in about that same amount of time and I was taking frequent breaks to make sure my 5 year old twins boys weren't destroying anything they shouldn't be.
