they were a bunch of incompetent morons.  if it isn't newer than '95 they don't really carry any parts for it and don't really know how to work on it. two months and five days (plus two head gaskets), first one wasn't honed out to 54mm for I.D.) to do a bore job that was to take three weeks (which it did) followed by a condenser (original one on bike), spark plug (bike overheated twice with the plug that was in it), and new set of points (unknown how old the previous one was).  They tried to push it out with the first (un-honed) head gasket on me and said that the loud tappet noise was the lower end.
