Well, superficially, just need new fork seals, but while your in there, might as well do a full service. I haven't done a thing since I purchased the 2013 in 2015, so she's over-due for some new oil, etc. I needed new rear pads, and thought I'd get a Spring check up. Shop wanted $1k. I did the rear pads this morning, in about 15 minutes. Going to do the forks this afternoon. I have done this before (on another bike) and it took less than 2 hours. As much as I like the local shop, that's just too much money for the services I need.
Maybe with shop labour continuing to spike, maybe there is some retirement part-time income for CB1100 and future retired motorcycle enthusiasts in general.
