Last plumber that was at my house charged $75 just to show up on a Sunday and it was $75 an hour minus parts. Sprinkler guy that was here last Sat (could only book him on Memorial day Weekend because he was so busy) charged me $275 for parts and time (4 hours) Parts were pretty cheap. Guessing I paid maybe $55 an hour. I paid $505 for first service check (600 miles) on a Moto Guzzi. That shop MIGHT have spent 2.5 hours on that. I've seen custom seats go for over $600 without having the personalized service on the spot to adjust for your anatomy. Value is an individual perspective. I was 200 miles out from my house on maybe the second weekend trip I took on the CB and on the way back I would have paid every cent of that $450 to get off the stock seat and onto something else.

Well worth it to me. I usually ride at least a tank when I ride. After the first 45 minutes to an hour the fun factor goes way down. This should increase the fun factor by at least a couple of hours.Biker

I didn't look at the clock when I left. I believe it was closer 4 hours than 5.
For what it's worth I recommend him. If you have him make a seat for you your butt will thank you every time you get on your bike.Beer
