Holy Shit!!!

The most expensive I've ever been Quoted and declined was $660 at the
dealership which dropped Triumph, but were willing to fuck with my bike for
a price. They were gonna charge me full retail on all possible parts (
whether they installed or not) and $65 an hour (US). Your Quote seems
outlandish.....
