If I did get a shop to do the doo on my 03, how many hours labor would be fair? Crash

<><><><><><> <><><><><><> Crash, Same question got asked on another list recently. I'll suggest a dealer should be able to do this job in an hour or less.

I'd agree, under an hour. It takes me about 45 minutes if I can work alone and unmolested. At a tech day, the newbies being coached through the job will take longer, maybe a couple of hours. Last I heard, Mike Cowlishaw of Eagle Engineering was turning the job around in 23 minutes. Most dealers will not have any experience doing the job, so they will want to charge you for the two hours it will probably take them.

OK, I got a good idea now thanks. I hope to find a tech day this spring and do the work there. If not there is a shop an hr away that sells the kits and does the work but they are kinda expensive. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

More than you want to pay. Here is the cheaper method. Host a tech day with a Doohickey job for people to watch then bribe someone who knows how to help you demonstrate it. Most of us can be bribed with promis of food and beer. This depends on where you are of course. It really only works if you can get some local participation in a tech day. By the way. "Tech day" is really an excuse for like minded or branded bike owners to hang out together and talk bikes then go ride for a while. Just dont tell the wives about that

How long does the job take? I'm reminded of a home improvement task I tackled this weekend - replacing the door knob and deadbolt on the front door of my sweetie's house. On the front of the package, a door knob and deadbolt combo from Schlage, it reads, "Can be installed in under 5 minutes!" They put that on there to mess with people. KLR content - doo replacement should be a communal event precipitating a gathering of the tribe. -- Kevin Powers White Bear Lake, MN [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Mike and CAStu did one at a juliantechday in less than 20 minutes. Including a drain and refill of fresh oil and a new filter. Sent from my iPad

In some circles this is also referred to as the "hold my beer" mount. As in "hold my beer and watch this" and "if I hold my beer just right, the cold helps reduce the swelling of the thumb I sprained auguring in".
