Default Setting a cell's formula with VBA

I have a cell defined with the following formula

=IF($E$5="SHP", IF(K8="skid", J8*I8/1000*H8, J8*I8*H8 ), "" )

My intent is to use the formaula to provide a calucated estimate based on
the values of cells E5 and K8. The user would then be free to accept the
estimate, or to revise it. The problem is that when the value is changed,
the formula is lost! So, I am attempting to add the formula to the cell
via a macro. I have tried numerous combinations concatenating quotes and
strings but cannot seem to get it right. What visually looks good yields
compiler errors like missing end of statement. What satisfies the
compiler, corrupts the above formula's intent. Any and all suggestions
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Here is what I currently have that is giving the error - Compile error:
Expected: end of statement

Range("L8").Formula = "IF($E$5="SHP", IF(K8="skid",
J8*I8/1000*H8, J8*I8*H8 ), "" )"
