Title: Mechanic referral for Vancouver (lower mainland) Post by: Super_cruiser on August 06, 2014, 05:27:49 PM Hi, I'm hoping that there's a few west coast members who can refer me to a reliable mechanic in the lower mainland (Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Surrey etc.) who won't rip me off to the tune of $1100 for doing a carb clean, gasket/o-ring replacement on my 03 Valkyrie. The only symptom (at present) is the fuel rail between 3&5 leaks. Anything you can provide me with would be welcome. Thanks in advance.

But I can tell you that they should be able to replace the gaskets in the fuel rails without removing the carbs. I watched (wish I knew how he did it) as a honda certified mechanic did it for me. Hope this helps.

I recall seeing a message on the 1500tech board from someone that did it themselves as well. I should follow-up on that.
