thanks guys...
Heritage07, Millville has done work on my Buds Fatboy and he was happy with them also........I may look into them. Thanks

HD7585, my bike came from BARB'S and I was very happy with my purchasing experience but there is one particular person in the service dept that rubs me the wrong way and who I have little faith in.
I really dont appreciate his nonchalant, nothings a big deal, I'm smarter than you attitude. for the amount of coin we drop on these bikes EVERYTHING is a big deal.

freekdawg1200, my bike is injected, if it were carbed I'd be able to take care of my lean condition on my own. I wanted a carbed bike but Barbs didnt have a carbed Deuce on the floor.
thanks for the info though....I'll give the guy a call and see if he can help me!

Bighorse, that Dude will be getting a call also.

thanks guys

Reading this thread is making me homesick. I'm born and raised in Philly but now, unfortunately, reside in Suckgusta, GA. So if you're ever down this way don't bother with Augusta HD. Drive the few extra miles to go to Harley Haven in Irmo, SC. They are top notch!

E-A-G-L-E-S,EAGLES!
GO BIRDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Miss hearing that chant huh!

Yup...Mike & Fatz at Trenton Harley do decent work. Mike is especially good on the dyno because he takes his time & for his own satisfaction wants to get the best results out of your machine.

960 Us Highway 130
Trenton, NJ 08691
(609) 689-0200

There used to be Simon's Peroformance, but I heard they closed doors and opened back up as a custom bike builder. Andy and his crew did a great job of putting my 95" kit together. Not sure, but if Larry and a few of his crew stayed, then they could be a good recommendation. They are about a mile from Biran's HD. I am from Southern MD, and it was a trip to get there, so I am not 100% sure of the road they are on.

for anything other than dyno tuning (hes not equipped) i would HIGHLY recommend DP Cycles on Worth St in Northeast Phila.

ive known the owner (Donnie) for some time and hes a straight up/stand up guy. excellent work, low down-time and good rates. hes done ALOT of work for friends of mine (and a bit for me) and everyone is completely satisfied with his service.

as a side-note... a friend had some work done on his Fatboy. after the service, he was en route to meet me at the Jersey Shore. unfortunately, he broke down on the way down (on the Turnpike). One call to DP was all it took. Donnie made a road-service call (which he doesnt do for 'anyone') and had my buddy rolling within an hour.

thats service.

Confuzed...Willie is "Good People" as are most of the people that work for Trenton Harley. Speed asked for a Independant or otherwise I would have mentioned Trenton. A rose is a rose thing regarding the cost of having a Dealer work on your bike. Trenton isn't cheap like all Dealers but they stand behind their work. Your gonna luv that Race Tuner!
