[I did the rear pads this morning, in about 15 minutes.

You changed your rear brake pads in 15 minutes? It takes me 15 minutes just to move my bike into a working area in my garage and get all the necessary tools out!

I just can't justify $600 for less than $100 in parts and a couple hours of labor. These look like pretty standard forks. BUT, if anyone has done this service before and ran into anything out of the ordinary, please let me know. Otherwise, I will post my experience. Maybe I will do a tutorial, as I do not see one here. All Balls equipment is arriving soon, and Motul fork oil.
How did it go? I am looking forward to that tutorial.
Thanks
