The money spent is not the issue. I do the work myself 99% of the time but after lifting the bike the first time without the proper modification to the floor jack i was a bit concerned about doing it again. Now we fabricated a plate that worked out really well and have no problem lifting the bike. My Harley (2010 Fatboy) has only been to a dealership one time. After that experience I swore off dealerships (landed In jail) Did not behave very well. Really thought that Truimph was better than that. Thought wrong. Never again.
