How do I find a good Evo mechanic in my area?

I would love to learn how to do everything I need to on my '97 WG, but with 3 kids, I just don't have much tinkering time. I'm doing good to find riding time.

How do you find a trustworthy and good Evo mechanic? Is there a good internet listing somewhere?

P.S. I'm in West Houston.

Go to the local watering hole and ask around. I'm in the same boat as you. Looking for a good wrench but trying to learn it on my own as well.

Go see Q at Stubbs Harley-Davidson.&nbsp\\; He might know some folks.&nbsp\\; He might be able to work on Evos, because it doesn't affect his status for working at the company.&nbsp\\; I believe mechanics can work on older Evos that the dealership don't take in.&nbsp\\;

The best Evo mechanic I know and trust is Zach, owner of Iron Dog motorcyles in New Ulm, about 60 mi west of Houston. From street to full race, he knows his stuff.

Are you guys saying that the stealerships won't work on Evos?

I bought my bike new at Stubbs.

A lot of dealerships won't work on Evos.&nbsp\\; Anything past 10 years is old.&nbsp\\; Some do still work on Evos.&nbsp\\; Just depends on the dealership.&nbsp\\; Don't ask me why.

I could find you an Evo wrench in Bryan.&nbsp\\; I still&nbsp\\;know some people there and they could recommend one.&nbsp\\; Small aftermarket shop type of thing with a former dealership wrench.
