I've owned my 1992 2-valve carb SS for 15 years and do all the servicing on it myself because (a) I got fed up of paying silly money to have someone I don't know do an average job and (b) it's dead easy. So it doesn't cost me that much to keep it on the road. It is tremendously satisfying to strip a bike down and then rebuild it, fire it up and ride it. Don't be afraid of doing it yourself. The only downside (in my experience) is that you get very attached to it and find it impossible to let go of...
