That's a great offer and I appreciate it, but I'm just going to have them done in Houston (call me a poser but I really like the gold forks, lol).

yeah, I could damn near buy OEM forks and have them put on.

Yeah, I even thought that the $300-$350 from the shop in Houston was too high (and this is the shop that everyone goes to, well, lots anyway). I had $200-$250 in my head from the last time I had them done years ago. Destination Cycles is the only game in town and Kerrville is a hot-spot for...

The fave shop in Houston will do 'em for $350 (w/ a discount for local board members) puts it just over $300

In Houston it's no problem - plenty people willing to help out on the local board.

these dudes: they apparently win "service shop of the year" or some such award in the Ride Texas Magazine every year, but I haven't heard anything about them other than they rape people. For real, they told me between $550 and $600 for fork seals. Kerrville, Texas, Sales, Service, Parts...

I got quoted what I think was a pretty insane amount to do the front seals on an '05 Busa. What should I be looking at spending, legitimately, to do this work?

Clutching it up? If you're powering it up your RPM is already too high when you get to BP and you'll find yourself "chasing the wheelie." If you can clutch it to BP from second gear you can ride all day long at 70 mph. Only thing you have to watch for, like said above, is oil starvation. You...
