The Divvies have got the reputation of being fairly easy and straightforward bikes to work on, but I only had a 600 and not the 900. There's quite a good online owners group at http://diversionclub.proboards.com/ which is free to join.

Head bearings are easy enough if you have the right tools and some way of supporting the bike while the front end is off. The worst bit is getting the bottom bearing race off the steering stem, usually involving a Dremel and cold chisel to crack it.

The extortion comes later. I need to hook them first, get them interested then go in with the demands.
