    And to be honest, you could have paid only a quarter of that had you done the work yourself.

      I tried that and could not get it feed fuel properly. I rebuilt the entire fuel system from the petcock to the intake valves and could not get it to run right.

        It's good to know there still is at least one good shop.

          It's good to have it going again isn't it? Sometimes it's worth it to get it back on the road. Glad the shop in Tally got it done!

          Take a ride by Bradly's Country Store and eat a sausage dog for me.

                Sometimes it is just worth it to get rid of a headache.
                A competent thorough mechanic in a reputable shop is worth the moeny of they get you back in premium shape.

                  Vacuum leak and it needed the rejet since I was running pods, they also threw a new battery on it. I had them put the new plugs and wires on as well. I thought 460 was a bargain instead of me having to continue chasing problems.

                    I'm real glad you got it running well for that price. You are the exception to the rule. I paid more than that and ended up having to rebuild my carbs again myself anyway. The only difference is that I can do it myself now for a fraction of that cost. At the time I had the money, now I don't, but I can still afford to rebuild them anytime I need to.

                      The guys at Orion have been doing business for the better part of a decade. They have gone from a dinky shack outside of town to two dealerships in town. They did through customer service and fair pricing. They mounted my mail ordered tires for 20 bucks and did it in less than hour. Since then I buy my parts through them and have them do anything I can't figure out and never felt ripped off or been disapointed.

                        Having just done a lot of this work myself (enjoyed it and looking for a nother project), I do see the value to some to have a reliable, honest and reasonably priced shop that will do this type of work.

                        $460 to:
                        1) Rebuild carbs
                        2) Rejet carbs
                        3) Supply and install battery
                        4) Supply and install wires and plugs
                        5) Vaccuum lines
                        and do it right....sounds like a very reasonable deal.

                          Now you can be out riding on Saturday instead of working on the bike! Sometimes it's just worth the money (if you can find a decent mechanic) to be up and running. Think of it as therapy for your motorcycle soul. You don't have to spend endless nights thinking "what the hell is wrong with it?" and "why won't thing ____ing run!" Just turn the key and ride on my friend...

                            THAT's the important part.
