I think most of us were saying the same thing you have a lot of money invested in your bike. If you plan on doing things you are not sure about get a service manual. And be carefull not to get over your head. I have been turning wrenches for over 35 years and some things I take my bike out to have done. I do this for a couple of reasons time, running into something I did not plan on ect. I do not think there is to much mechanicaly I cannot fiqure out with the right info ie service manual but like I tell my auto customers sometimes it is better to let someone who messes with them day in and out to work on them. May need special tools parts you may of not counted on ect. Good luck with everything and you will get some good advice on here.
