I've done some Valk work, but never all these things on one bike... I've got a very long list (below) and I am hoping someone with a shop can give me the standard quoted hours so that the guy doesn't have to pay the time i actually spent on it, which is probably much more. If you can suggest a way to do this on my own, please let me know.

I know there are several programs with standard time intervals for services to be preformed on a bike, which is exclusively what I am trying to get out of one of yall. So if you have access to one of these programs and can plug in the things I have it would be a big help.

I need an itemized list of hours for:

2003 Honda Valkyrie Standard Rebuild.
Note: change=replace

Carburator set (remove, clean, rebuild, sync)
Install Desmog Kit
Replace Handlebar Grips
Replace Master Cylinders
Replace Clutch Line
Rebuild Clutch Slave Cylinder
Rebuild brake calipers
Rebuild rear brake pump
Bleed brakes and clutch cyl
Rebuild Kickstand Plate (broken spring holder drilled out and re tapped after removal)
Replace stand switch
Replace Turn signal indicator
Coolant system flush
oil system flush
Rebuild brake calipers
Change front tire
Rebuild speedometer gear 
Replace F L dust seal
Rear tire change + final drive service

Final Drive oil flush and change
Rebuild front forks
mirror stems


If anyone attempts to actually do this I can pay you for your time i'm sure it's going to take a few minutes to plug all that in but the guy dropped this bike off at my apartment and now he is starting to seem like a miser so I need some paperwork to back up all the stuff I've done so I don't end up doing charity work again...

10 to 12 hours without the carb work  Dealer time would be double that. Also parts are extra , even if you have them in stock , they need to be charged for.  
I try to keep a worksheet to write down what I do.

12 hours for everything but the carb work. Minimum of an additional 6 hours on the carbs.
Add the cost of all parts and shipping to those hours.
