I tore down what I could and decided that I no longer have the energy and tools plus the additional knowledge to complete this myself. I can do alot but I definitely can't do everything obviously otherwise this thread wouldn't exist. However now I have a whole different issue!!! My worst fear is coming though yet again which is why I'm always on here trying to figure things out myself: I took it to a shop that really doesn't have my best interest in mind. I'm actually stressing now.

Stressing hard because I put about 13k worth of parts including the bike itself into a shop and this guy doesn't seem to be too honest. I have some sweet parts for this thing. However this shop has so far been pretty sketchy. I call to try and get updates on the progress and honestly almost have to demand a response from the guy. It's always the same answer, the same answer I got last week. Keep in mind this guy shrugged his shoulders and said "eh this will be easy, I can probably get this done in a day"...I immediately corrected him though and told him probably a week cause I want to go ahead and add the new bars.

Oh yeah it's been in there for little over a month now!!!I've been working 2 jobs 7 days a week to even get as far as I've gotten and now it's blowing up in my face due to ANOTHER shop issue. I feel like this guy is d!cking me around and taking advantage of my nice polite demeanor. I've been relaxed, patient, and I've even put down a good amount of money towards this. I do know some parts were added. I asked for black cables cause I no longer like ugly braided cables and the last time I was in the shop he replaced throttle, idle, and clutch cables with braided cables!!!! I didn't complain, I casually pointed out that I asked for black but said "screw it, I just want to ride this thing please finish it as soon as you can please, thank you I appreciate it."

I guess he's playing the opposite game with me? I can't tell anymore lol. I can honestly keep complaining and pointing out the red flags that keep popping up every time I visit or call(which I usually only call once a week and haven't visited the shop in about 2 weeks cause I'm trying to stay out of the way so they can finish..plus I don't trust people like this and fear the worse...therefore I'm not up their a$$ harassing them), everything with this shop so far has been a nightmare. DOES ANYONE KNOW A GOOD SHOP AROUND THE DAYTONA AREA THAT CAN ACTUALLY HELP ME COMPLETE THIS BIKE FOR ME?! I have all the parts, everything is good to go! They are just refusing to answer my questions, they're refusing to properly explain anything to me as far as to what is going on with my bike and why it isn't finished yet. I've been nothing but nice, what else can I do????

I need a good shop that can deal with high performance products. I went through hell just to get the bike to the shop(I work alot and don't have truck/trailer so I had to go to great lengths to borrow one from my boss...however this round I'll have to have it towed. I don't want to rack up a huge bill towing it from shop to shop. I want someone that can be uprfront and honest with me and not toy around with my huge investment here. I don't get it....I don't understand why I go into a shop and I get treated like crap when all ive done so far is came in to ask what I need to do or how much I need to pay or even put down to get my bike back on the road. I have even more upgrades that I'm wanting to do with this bike but first things first I need it to run! Please someone point me in the right direction here. This is why I've always taken chances on my own mechanic work(HA!) because I'd rather screw myself then let someone else charge me to do the same. No I don't want to drop any names until I get my bike back. I hope I don't have to act crazy to get all of my parts back.
So to all you people jabbing at me for trying to figure this out, now you can see why!! Finding a good honest and hardworking mechanic apparently is not easy. I'm getting screwed now.

Why does Twisted biker or whoever this guy keep commenting on my thread? This dude has literally just criticized me the entire time. This must be another Harley god lol 😂 Was I supposed to know that I was I going ripped and screwed? Or is that just common knowledge amongst classless men?
now I'll probably get blocked and cancelled. The democrats are running the show obviously.
