I try to do most of the things myself but sometimes you need an better mechanic than you are your self.
A few weeks ago I had a carb problem with my 94 CB 1000 (run too strong carb cleaner thru the tank, BG 44 K)
Could not get it to run right and after $602 repair bill from great Honda mechanic, including parts , it now runs perfect again.
It was worth spending the $$$$.
Know your limitations !
I have tons of tools but just dont have the chain tool but found out today one of my buds has one that will let me borrow so Im doing it. If I get into trouble he will help me an is a great mechanic.
I know what your saying though. One time I took sportster down to my local indy mechanic pretty much in a cardboard box to have them reassemble.
