Default 2014 forty-eight help...

Bad news today guys. To make a long story short, went to a friend's place to get some stand off screws torqued on my forty-eight's throttle body. 2 of the 3 stand off screws were torqued good, but the third one was stripped.

I decided to get Time-sert threaded inserts. I chose them over Helicoil and Keensert after reading throughly and searching online.

I have worked on all my cars and this is my first time re-inserting threaded inserts on my harley. I want to get this right the first time since making a mistake on the inserts will lead to a slanted/crooked stand off screw.

Here is my question:
--> Where is a good machine shop to get the time-serts inserted? I live in the Bay Area, California and any recommendations would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance guys!

Anyone know a reputable shop in the Bay Area that could remove the throttle body and insert the time-serts for me?
