A couple of thoughts Gerald. Keep in mind I too am getting older and starting to question how long I'll be able to push this around the garage to keep riding it! I keep my '83 aspencade because it's such a nice ride, but I could never justify the cost of someone else maintaining it or doing repairs, they want just too much money to even look at it and some shops don't even want to work on it. I put a new water pump in last spring, the whole job probably cost me $150 and took a bunch of hours because I work slow and careful. The hardest part was getting the bike up on my harbor freight lift and putting it on the center stand!
All the instructions were either in the book or on the web.
If you don't think you have the mechanical skills, we can help you. If you lack the knowledge, we can cover that too. If you just don't feel like working on a bike anymore, maybe what you need is a newer model that doesn't need work. Case in point, I bought a new harley in 2008 and I haven't done anything to it except tires and fluids which were done by the dealer while it was in for winter storage as part of the storage pakage deal. (I didn't want it in my shop for the winter due to possible cosmetic damage, while working on other bikes and stuff)
Just my two cents, don't take offense...

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANSWER TO MY QUESTION. YOUR ANSWER WAS ON THE SPOT.WHAT I HATE IS HAVING TO TAKE ALMOST NOTHING FOR MY BIKES. I WAS OFFERED 2500.00 FOR MY VALKYRIE 1997 LOOKS NEW TO ME. I JUST BOUGHT A 1983 ASPENCADE 1100 WITH 43,00 0 MILES SECOND OWNER. I HAVE TO MANY HEALTH PROBLEM TO KEEP BIKES UP. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. GERALD
Gerald, you should (or should have) tell whoever offered you $2500 for your Valk to "pack sand where the Moon don't glow".
I don't know about your health problems, or what limitations they create, but a motorcycle lift and a good stool may help you DIY.
Otherwise, I don't know. It's getting harder and harder to find a trustworthy mechanic that's willing to work on old bikes.
