I was thinking in my head, what? 2 hrs only? maybe if you are a pro and you got all the shims ready, maybe 2 hrs.

i'm just going to do it myself. it seems to be too good of a deal, they probably won't do it right at all imo. kinda wary of this place, every time i go in to look at gear. the sales guys seem like complete d-bags. one time i was looking at an arai rx-q helmet and the sales guy said, it's only for racers you don't need it. i told him, i was planning to hit the tracks, he said, well your not racing so you don't need that anyway. i swear they are something else, they will tell you a 600 or 1000 is a great beginner bike, but when it comes to safety - naw you don't need that, don't bother unless your a racer. LOL

Every time I have heard a price like this I inquire further and find out that they are looking at the estimated labor for a pregen.
