I have purchased a set of pull back handle bars and the new brake line that must accompany the change over from the forward set bars. I have also received the fantastic chrome banjo bolts from Tom/Jr and went to have all of these items installed by I-90 Motorsports in Issaquah, Washington today. I ordered the handle bars three weeks ago and only today two weeks after them came in and two hours after I leave the bike do they notice that the bars have a blemish and can't use them! Two weeks ago I was also quoted 6 hours of labor to change over the handle bars/brake line/clutch line and put my new banjo bolts in while the brake system was bled anyway. I cancelled the clutch line part of the install since I discovered it wasn't needed. Today I drop it off and they tell me it'll be 7 hours of labor. That's MINUS the clutch line part of the prior 6 hour quote!!!!!!! :? So I sign the estimate to start. As I'm asking them about there abilities and going over some of the fine details of the bike the fellow in the service department ( who shall remain name less at the moment) tells me that "their not overly eager to work on my bike anyway" as I'm about to leave my bike in their hands!!
Then when they call me two hours later about the new handle bar's blemish, the tell me that the brake line banjo bolt change over will take more time then they thought. To be exact they figure on 8 HOURS........... YES, I SAID 8 HOURS to do just the brake bleeding banjo bolts swap!!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil:
So now the estimate is for 11 hours total. 3 for the bars and 8 for the bleeding @ $80/hr + tax which come to $950 roughly out the door!!!! Plus the parts of course.
I've read what some of you have paid and how long it's taken to do these things to your bikes and I feel like I-90 Motorsports is trying to give me a really long shaft compared to others change over experiences.
Anyone have any input on this for me. I've started looking at other dealers and nobody has done anything like what I want to do around here in Washington state.
I love my bike but this seems a little ludicrious for them to change the quote two hours later in the morning after I sign a 7 hr estimate and then change it to 11 hours when they haven't even touched the bike yet. I grilled them about having the manual and talking to Honda during the two weeks prior to waiting for the change over surgery :lol: . They were very conifident in there abilities (aka: COCKY) To me, they now have egg on their face
Any imput here fellas????????????
