Default West Michigan Engine Builder - Sorry for the double post

First I apologize for the re-post. I put this in the wrong section so I am posting it again.

First I would like to say thank you for all the help in answering my questions in the past on my 98 Dyna Low Rider. She runs great now and I love riding everywhere I can.
Second Sorry if I did not search correctly and people already gave great responses.

Third I have done research on this forum and it seems the builders people talk about in Michigan are shut down now in 2020. I have also heard a little bit of Iron Eagle in GR but most people talk about Roeder Racing and/or Scott at Hillside motorcycle. While I am more than willing to drive to either of those places for the best bang for my buck performance build on my 98 Dyna Low Rider with the Evo engine I would really like to keep my money in Michigan or my specifically the Grand Rapids general area. I am looking for the bike to look stock and have 80+ horsepower and 80+ torque. I like Scott at Hillsides results with Evos and am willing to drive there but as stated just wondering if there are any guys closer to me?


Thanks for all the help in the past and now.

Peace

Not much on this side of the state either. I see so many empty buildings that would work great for a everything Harley shop. Wondering if one of the local dealers is going to make it, CO-19 has about wiped it out, the other two seam to be going strong.
