I never really had a problem with what dealerships charge since I have a close relationship to a couple of locals and understand what they are going through to keep the doors open. I try to purchase my parts from them if possible. I have been a wrench turner for one reason or the other my whole life. I am 68, but I have the tools, the capability to decipher instructions, the health, and I have always enjoyed doing my own work on my bikes. Getting up and down isn't as much fun and I may spend a bit more time in the recliner the next day, but by golly, I'll get it fixed.
