Just do it yourself. For $300 bucks you can do more mods, or just buy a complete tool set to do the mods yourself. A lot of us do most mods at home and I'm sure if your getting stuck with a problem we will help you out with good advice.:noworries::noworries:
Plus if you do it yourself you earn braggin` rights
:thumbup::thumbup:Labor rates are usually nuts 'cause of their overhead and liabilities.
You'll never win by going to a dealer for work, pick up some tools and do it. If you have ANY questions, post up, their are a lot of knowledgeable people on here.
There are some jobs I don't feel comfortable doing and I'll bite the cost for them, but general maintenance and mechanical add-ons are usually straightforward.

Wow that is a lot of money. I had my dealer install my Two-Bros exhaust and they only charged me $80 which I didn't think was bad.
80$???
My dealer quoted me $225!PuRpl3_Dr4nK

Well actually more like $87 but still I thought it was very cheap. I ordered the exhaust through them, got a good price on that too, and had them install it.80$???
Don't go to the dealer for that type work! :spank:
I have done all the work on my bike so far, and if you ask or look around, chances are there is a detailed how-to for the mods you are looking to do. If not, there are enough of us here to figure out how to change the light bulb. :thumbup:

frame sliders are not that hard to do~ I had mine installed in 20 minutes~ I am not sure about the FE, but if you go to How-To section, you will find instructions there~
Like many others have said, do it yourself. Those 2 are very easy and basic mods. Plus, you get to buy tools which you keep and use forever. I have used the "I need that tool to do this project" excuse for 20+ years (even the wife buys it!!!) and now have a nice tool collection. I get into the Bay Area every few weeks and would be happy to help.
