HD Shops Vancouver, WA, Portland, OR
I am moving to the NW, Vancouver, WA, Portland, OR area. What are some of the good HD shops I can get my work done at. I will miss the Texas riding season, but will love the scenic NW.

I can offer some advise on this...
I used to live in Vancouver and now reside in the greater Seattle area..
IMO, hands down the best shop in Vancouver is an indy called "Johnny's Old Skool M/C repair". Fair and honest, he will treat you right. As for actual HD Dealers, Latus in E. Portland is probably the most famous/popular.
Good Luck!

There is a dealer south of Portland (Albany) AMC Harley, and they always have 20-25% off sales. They also run lots of service specials. Right now they are running a $199 1K,5K or 10K service special (Syn 3). I generally shop at Columbia for must have stuff, and AMC for big purchases. Portland area dealers are generally always highest.
Longview, 30 miles north of Vanc. has a Indy named Old School Choppers that does good work, and has always treated me right.

I moved up here from Wichita Falls about twenty years ago and just love it. You will find it is not near as cold, and definately not near as hot as Texas. Still year round riding if you don't mind rain gear. It will take about a year for your web feet to develop
If you travel north on I-5 to exit 111, you will find Northwest Harley in Olympia. They have an awesome service dept and the best dyno-tuner in the entire area.
Give us a holler when you get here and I'll show you some awesome scenic riding.

I'm 15 minutes from Vancouver, and the only dealer in Vanc. is Columbia Harley. Small shop, and a decent staff. 10% off for HOG members, but you pay tax so it's almost a wash. I've been to them all in the Portland area, and they're nothing special.

They are a small shop and fight for their market share...so good deals abound...
It's always nice to go to the "big" dealers to look around but I usually end up doing most of my purchases at AMC after shopping at the stores with more inventory/eye candy...
10% HOG discount
15% Veterans discount
Always some kind of deal going on...

I bought my 09 RKC at AMC in Albany and got a killer deal. Great sales staff (I dealt with Mashonda) Parts and service have been excellent.

Welcome to the PNW, the 3 main Harley shops/dealers are Latus -East Portland/Gladstone, Paradise Harley -West Portland, or Columbia in Vancouver. All 3 have something to offer. Latus is quite large and seems to have the highest reputation for its Mechanics and Dyno Tuners. I tend to spend most of my shopping time at Latus, even though I have a sister that works at Paradise Harley, lol

Welcome to the northwest. (I don't have any recommendations on shops around Portland, just wanted to say that.) There's lots of great riding up here, and pretty much year-round too, but you do have to be prepared to ride in the rain at times.

Welcome tot he area. FWIW, I live about 10 minutes away from Latus but based on some experiences I have been taking my dealer business to Paradise. With reading these other threads, it sounds like I need to check out the Albany dealerhip too...
