I live in central Ct. I just had my 1983 GL1100I worked on at Valley Motorsports in Ansonia, Ct. I had timing belts replaced, and rear tire, brake light switch and 2 running lights replaced. The total bill was $680. For the work plus parts I thought it was reasonable. Art and Rich are both nice guys.
I think you got a smoking deal. The dealer ship here charges 75.00 an hour. So to figure it from the hours at a similar shop rate means you got a heck of a deal.
If you paid $680 for the labor only I think that is to much money. Rear tire change is about $80.00 or 1 hr labor, brake light switch and 2 light bulbs shouldn't be more than 2 hours TOPS. So that is about 3 hrs for tire and other work @$75.00 an hour equals $225, that means they charged you $455 to change the timing belts, WOW.
Bike is back at the same shop again. This is the second time since the initial service. Bike has been overheating since I had the belts put on. We will see if this continues to be a good deal or not.
I know this guy has many customers that ride older wings. The owner of the parts shop rides a wing himself. He works on all kinds of bike and a lot of them are older.Had a 70's version Kawasaki 500 two stroke when I was there the other day.
