Default Charleston Area Indy

Hi All,

Just moved to the Charleston SC area from Colorado. Love it down here. Was just wondering if any of you know of a good independent shop to get a bike fixed down here? Nothing wrong with it right now, but you never know. Had a great one in Colorado Springs! American Cycle.

Thanks
Steve

IDK what the already suggested Indy prices are like but you can check craigslist as well. When I first got to where I am now found a couple that way.

When it comes to buying parts for your HD, just go to Low country harley or order online. All american biker will do is take your money, wait a couple days, and then go down to low country harley to order the part. It just takes alot more time. American Biker is a great little shop, the owner rich seems like a pretty cool guy, and all the show room guys are cool. I cannot recommend their service department or their parts department. I've had 2 seperate bad experiences with their service department. If they don't have it on the shelf don't worry about it. I have always had good experiences with low country harley, and there is a little indy shop on US-78 called all custom cycles. I have not personally had work done their, but my buddy had his bike worked on there and said the experience was excellent. Velocity power sports will do the same as american biker and just order any parts for you, so really gear is only good thing about that shop. Hit me up if you wanna ride. We need to get a legitamite charleston thread going on and get some rides going!

Do not go to James Island Cycle. My brother used them and I had to fix everything they did. A couple of times

and we should get a Charleston thread going.
