How much will it cost to have new brake pads put on my motorcycle?

I have a 2000 SV650 and need to replace the front and rear brake pads. I need and estimate to see how much it will cost at a shop so that I am not over charged. Thank you.How much will it cost to have new brake pads put on my motorcycle?I've never seen a fee for a manual at a shop, but around 200-275 sounds about right. The reason being is shop prices are 80-90 bucks per hour. A set of front and rear pads for a SV will cost about 80-100 bucks, and are a pretty easy install. In a shop you'll probably pay for 1-1 1/2 hours of labor, and shop fees, and OEM pads.How much will it cost to have new brake pads put on my motorcycle?$90 an hour plus parts. Parts marked up 5%. An additional 10% of total bill for warranty. Don't forget to tip your mechanic. Taxes and disposal fees extra. Your looking at $220-$350 or for the price of the pads and a manual, about $110 [depending on which pads you choose] you could do this yer own self.How much will it cost to have new brake pads put on my motorcycle?It's a very simple job to do yourself.All you need is a tool to remove the caliper bolts,a C clamp to collapse the pucks in the caliper,some anti seize for the caliper bolts and new pads.Go get a service manual for your bike and save yourself about 200 bucks.
