    Oh but they tighten right hand footpeg. Pity it is a circlip so nothing to tighten.
    You are warned. But you knew it already...

    Did you ask them for a estimate first?

    Scan and post the invoice - the rest is irrelevant without viewing it, for all we knew you asked them to polish it for you.

    I cannot believe you are whinging about the price!
    Do it yourself? You say I usually...
    So Why didn't you, huh?
    You got no reason to complain......
    Supply and demand, you obviously wanted it done....Quit whining!

    The next motorcycle shop you want to get work done at ... itemize the particular jobs you want done. Then .. get them to put at the bottom of the list "Nothing else" ...

    Don't forget to tell them how unhappy you were with the prices you were charged at Colemans. If you ask for the same work done ... you can compare prices charged.

    Let us know how you get on.
    When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...

    I don't think they should charge more for the oil in the workshop.
    I think many workshops do overcharge, but they have to stay above water
