Default Labor rate part 2

Ok.. here is the whole story. I brought my RC51 to have some work done on the forks (racetech gold valves, 5wt oil, ohlins springs) to shop X. A few hours later one of the techs calls me and says that they can't do the job. They were insisting that the forks were already modified.. that they were not the stock forks. I know that they are stock since I bought the RC brand new. So the forks were sent out to Dan Kyle. While the bike was in their shop I had requested them to also install stainless steel brake lines and EBC brake pads that I provided. The labor that they are asking for is $260... $80 of which is the 2 day UPS charge so that I could make it to my trackday - (the bike was in the shop for about 3 weeks- they knew about the trackday but sent the forks UPS GROUND from NJ to CA). What do you guys think of the $260 bill? Sorry for the long post. Mike
