I spread the work over 2 days but...
My regular work is about as far from mechanical work as you can get. I started on a Friday afternoon and took my time. I finished up on Saturday. My only problem was when I stripped the tensioner pulley nut and damaged the threads on the stud. I had to ride the Buell to the autoshop to get a die to repair the threads on the stud and buy a new nut. Everything else went ok.
Also, I don't think the dealership would do the water pump, serpentine belt, etc.. replacement unless you asked them to.

I would've considered DIY, but...
my friend just replaced the timing belt on his GTI and the belt slipped or something and his car was rendered useless. He just had to buy a new car.
