OK... it's question and answer time

Hi everyone
This question is for anyone who has or has owned what I have "see picture" fullsizeoutput_4bac.jpg
this is a 2008 made in Dec. 08 sold new in 2009 it says it's a 2009 but it also says it's a GS on some paperwork
when the dealer pull it up it says GS/RS.
Now on with the question.... I have had it since it had 600 miles on it, it now has 19,022.8 I have NEVER had any issues
no codes not even a flat tire.... now for the fun. I went out Thursday to take a ride and when I started it I got the dreaded
CHECK DPS - CHECK DPS - CHECK DPS... well since I was going that direction I I went to my friendly neighborhood dealer
to have it checked out... well as it turns out I am told the DPS is toast and needs to be replaced. It never went in to limp mode
and the tech said it will not, all I will have is HARD steering so my question is....
If you have had this service preformed what did it cost ??? my wife is still suffering from shock, she says damn that more than the Harley stuff costs. What should I expect to pay to have it replaced parts and labor.
I do have the repair order but will hold off telling you what it is until I see some of yours.
Thanks everyone
Ride Safe

PS I am sure glad I have another motorcycle in the garage to ride.....good ole Honda
