Damn good site.

Good stuff. Was just thinking about soda blasting this weekend - I need me a big compressor!

What year & what did you have done?

02 R1150GS Adv. Everything checked and adjusted EXCEPT front brake pads (Supplied my own), poly-v belt, and fuel filter. All fluids done, spline, crown and pivot bearings inspected and lubed...and told off in deutsch about tyre pressures being .2 bar on the low side. Pretty thorough, but stoopid expensive

...but then again I typically do it myself.

Sounds like you got a fair bit done. How much of that was labour and how much parts? Labour is stupid expensive now $60-70 per hour in Welly.
