Spoke with Dustin today at Wildwood sports. He split the difference on the time quote -- originally said 4, and it took him 6. ALL valves were out of the newer (post 2004) Ducati spec -- new figures state that the clearances have to be much closer than originally called for.
So that's: 5 hours at $80/hr, along with 8 closer and 8 opening shims -- the far side of $600.00 Hmm. As well, the cost to powdercoat the frame (properly) is about what I expected -- $425. Not for the paint, but for the time, ensuring the trellis tubing is all covered. Both can be picked up shortly, although my schedule is such that a Saturday off isn't for awhile. As well, the minor consumable parts I ordered also have to come from Italy, so it may be a couple of weeks before I get stuff back home.
