Welcome first of all, what kind of bike? and what part of the bay area? then I'll share with you that the way you post your question on here determines how many people get back to you.
* did you do a search on here?
* also when you read posts already left on here, some of them will say where there from, contact them and ask where they get there work done.

Hope it helps, I don't live in the bay area anymore so I can't help you there. Good Luck

Start with a service manual. Learn about your bike make it easier to do thing with out the high cost of a shop. Plus if you every have that problem on the road you may be able to quick fix it.

Try Slabside in Campbell. Bruce is a great guy and his mechanic Ross does a great job..

I recommend you move to Arizona. Just kidding, welcome to the forum, these mods seem easy enough to do yourself depending on bike model. If you look at zippers or D&D web it says you can add ac and exhauset with no seperate tune, I did it for 1 1/2 years then had to get tuner when I upgraded my motor to HQ 107. If you have a batwing you might take it to someone as the Bars are a PIA to change.

I know this is an old thread, but I have to second the recommendation of Slabside in Campbell. He is more interested in doing the work that you want and need than making a buck. This is a shop with the killer combination of integrity and high quality work.They just did stage 1 mods, including V&H Monster Ovals, on my 06 Ultra. My bike has never run or sounded better! And hey, us Bruce's of the world have to stick together! ;-)
