I'm probably in the minority, but I actually enjoy working on my car just as much as I do driving it -- no doubt about it. Now, honestly, that job was really only an hour's worth of labor (15 minutes to pull the MC, 15 minutes to cut and grind the fork, 15 minutes to reinstall the MC with the new inlet on it, and 15 minutes to bleed the system). I probably spent four or five. You know, taking pics, staring at the fork thinking "what the f***", getting the top bolt back in on the MC took forever because there is absolutely no room for your fingers, I wasted a half hour looking for a nut that had dropped in to my shirt pocket instead of landing on the garage floor, and so on, and so on....

I use 409 in the spray bottle. I also found that it does a remarkable job at removing burnt skin and tissue from my sidepipes without leaving any stains, etc. Seriously, it's great at that.
