Default Iron Eagle Cycles

The wife and I stopped in this past Saturday to check out Iron Eagle Cycles on the south side of Lake Wales on HWY 27.

It's a nice looking mom and pop indy. Anyone had any dealing with them?
We are well over an hour from any HD dealer were we live and are looking ahead for when I need tires. And quite frankly want to support the mechanic for their efforts instead of most of the money going to a building etc.

Hope the weather holds again this weekend so we can enjoy a morning rain free ride.

I have never used Iron Eagle Cycles in Sebring, but I have used Rockerbox Cycles in Lake Placid.

I don't know anything about them but I sure like your idea of supporting the mechanic vs the fancy building...

Tire changes aren't terribly hard, if you decide to try them please let us know.

if its the same owner as the one in west palm then i will tell you i was charged a 25.00 shop fee, which the owners wife told me is for rags and stuff plus almost 300.00 in labor fees to put on 2 new tires that I brought in the store with me. Seemed a bit high to me but live and learn. other than that I had no complaints.

FYI - The Iron Eagle in WPB went out of business over 2 years ago.

Well I may be needing a compensator here soon. Had a slight bang on startup with just 8,500 miles on the clock. Just the one time and has not done it since. However, I will prepare.

Also would like to put on a set of whitewalls here soon.

Ill keep poking around and let you all know if I find anything out about them.

There is also an independent shop in Avon Park on Main street I'll check out this weekend if I get time.

When I had the evo wide glide, Victor, the owner of Rocker Box Cycles is the only one I trusted to work on the bike. I never used an HD dealer. He replaced many tires for me and every thing he did, I thought he was fair in his price. But then again, he was 45 minutes from my house.
