Here's my two cents. I would recommend Bilenky. They do a lot of these and, while I have not had them do it for me, I have looked at a lot of their handiwork and they are masters. They say they can do it without disturbing the paint job too much, which may be good enough for your bike. Otherwise, for an additional charge, they can match the paint. Now I'm not sure about this, but I think the company that markets the couplers doesn't recommend that every builder install them, but Bilenky is on their approved list. Don't quote me on that, but if there is such a list, they're on it. They are nice guys and trustworthy.
