<- is NOT a ''wallet tuner''

I agree with warranty stuff. Otherwise, I do everything! That should be obvious for anybody that knows me or has viewed my lift thread.

I have done everything except the actual tire change. I take them off the bike, but then let the dealer do the rest.
I have a mechanic, not at a dealer, do my forks.. which need re-done this winter because the seals are leaking already.
Erik helps me with the other stuff if I ask for it.

I havent had to do much work on my bikes (dam you Honda), but everything is DIY for me unless I absolutely can not do it my self. I had to have a dealer press on my fork seals, but dissassembled/reassembled everything myself.

FYI. 35,000+ mile fork oil smells like Tater's whore of an ex's you know what.

DIY, plus I do my own paint, powder coating and anything else I can.

do you do powder coating for others? ie... I know this guy... who has a DRZ... that wants his rack powder coated black... as he tried to paint it and that lasted all of about an hour... and 59 min of that was it drying.


oh... and that guy is me.

My bikes don't go to dealerships. Carolina's won't either now that I'm taking care of them as well.

The only thing I haven't been able to do myself are tire changes, and I'm going to pick up a NoMar and fix that problem shortly.

I change the oil, that's about it........It's not worth my time to attempt other things, especially since I don't have a garage.

DIY and it doesnt hurt having free mechanic (dad)

Both - DIY and Dealer, although in my case DIY = a friend. :whistle:
