I've dealt with Sebastian several times, if he actually does the work himself you will be very happy with him.

Well, I AM very happy!  Price was $430, they said they only had to take care of 2 valves, and he even checked out my tune etc with the Leo slip-ons we put on.  I have only ever heard excellent things about Sebastian/Melillimoto and so far they have been great to us also!  This helps a great deal when we are also SO very limited in options anyways!  The most local shop was formerly Cycle Riders, then Ride Now bought them out but closed down last week!  Otherwise, we have Daytona, which is actually a BIG HD dealership/shop so not keen on them working on my Duc, MIAMI or Melillimoto. 
THANK YOU SEBASTIAN!

well, good 4-5 hours, or so I was told.  Also, required to trailer in or ride  in day before-either way they need it COLD to fiddle with valves. 

I am now concerned because I lost maybe 1/4 quart oil and there is obvious drips of oil. Told by ex-Duc mechanic it COULD BE, when they did whatever they did to 2 of my valves, could have screwed up seals. Common?  He rode behind me on track-my first 2 sessions, bike wanted to stall in line then ran like CRAP. Mech said he could SEE the "Proverbial puff of smoke"?   Altho, next sessions, it ran smooth and strong.  Dumb founded here.  To take back or not to?? 
Guess I will watch, ride n see.
