Having run two different motorcycle customizing & repair shops in N.H. , I would say that the most useful thing that you can buy is a service manual & if possible an owners manual. Most of the things can be done yourself , if you have any mechanical knowledge & having things done in a shop means cost of labor! If a shop is a brand dealership , you get many notices that are basically shortcuts. I worked for one dealership & it depends mostly on the mechanic that you get. Some mechanics know how to do things correctly but don't! (You didn't hear that from me!) Irish
P.S. After working in one dealership , I told my wife that I would never work in another unless I ran it! A dealer doesn't know the problems that a rider has!
