Default servicing in norwich/norfolk

hi all

i have to do the bigger service for my 05 650s as my valves sound a little clattery.
spoke to cj ball yesterday and they want £235 + parts which seems kinda steep.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a local mechanic who is any good and maybe slightly cheaper?

Im not shy of giving it a whirl myself but figure it would be good to put it into a shop as Ive not done much work on my sv yet.

Cheers
Cy

My local independent was great on my 16000 service.
Wrentham Bike Shed just outside Beccles
01502716640
Proper back street bike garage but is very good and well priced.
