PLEASE READ BEFORE ASKING A QUESTION!!! I CAN ONLY ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT HARLEYS !!! I DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT OTHER MODELS!!! I have a Harley only shop with 30 years experience located in Ohio. We specialize in complete and total repair, restoration, hi-performance, and custom bike building. I can work on Flat Heads to Twin Cams. Please, dont ask how much somthing is going to cost to fix. Labor prices differ all over te country as well as shop to shop!

Experience in the area

Engine rebuilding (can be shipped), Trans rebuilding (can be shipped), Restoration, Custom bike building

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

Having a repair shop that everybody who owns a Harley can not only afford, but can feel like they are getting expert repairs.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

If your going to work on your Harley the best piece of equipment you can buy is a service manual for your bike!!!!!!!!!!!
