Small work on bikes?
I'm new to bikes, so yes I'm a newb I was wondering is their anyone in the area of Hampton, or the near by area who do small work on bikes (Without trying to charge the same fee as Sunrise, or Casey)? Small work Like putting on a Slip on, or a Fender kit. When it comes to bikes I'm mechanically challenged so I don't have the tools or the skill to even try the basic things without some supervision.
BTW, I have an 07 Kawi 6R so the exhaust is under the seat

Re: Small work on bikes?
most of us have done our own work on our bikes. i am sure anyone will be willing to help.
I have a bunch of tools but times are questionable with me. plus i wouldnt charge cause that is a simple job. of course i work on Honda cause they rock

A slip on and an FE kit on that bike go hand in hand since you are going to have to remove the tail anyways. I'd help if you were closer. Try kawiforums and see if they have a "DIY" on it.

I'm a member of Kawiforums.com, and I haven't seen anything on it.
Anyway I think I'm going to go with the Two Brothers. I will probably try to look at it and give it a go myself. Hopefully I don't scrip to many bolts in the process

Re: Small work on bikes?
the 07 6r is a pain in the butt to get the pipe off. i've done 2 in the last week or so. kawi put way too much crap back there, and there's a bunch of stupid little brackets holding it all together.
if you're looking for a smaller shop (not a dealer), i'm working in hampton at EMC off mercury. i could get it all done for you, probably have you in and out same day.
i don't do side work any more, so that's the best help i could give.

Heh heh...sorry, couldn't resist!!!
More than likely, you have the proper tools in your took kit to swap out a exhaust system...but it will be time consuming and you have to take a bunch off to get to it. I'm not help either since in a couple days I won't even be in this state!

Thanks everyone for the help...
Off the subject but what's the best exhaust for the 07 Kawi?
I was sorta being cheap since Two brothers already have the Fender Kit with it all for 529.00
