Jim, anyone who has pulled all the stuff of the bike it takes to get the valve covers off knows that is a heck of a price. Your dealer is taking good care of you!
Jim also promised not to lock any of the service managers threads on this forum!
I charge flat fee of $500 for shim work, thats bike being dropped off and done and customer rides away. Includes, Oil, oil filter, (customer pays extra for spark plugs/air filter) And shims checked and/or replaced within spec and new valve cover gasket.
