The Dealers in your area should be able to do the job, might be a little pricey ?

I wouldn't trust a Pan Head to a Dealer. They don't even like working on EVO's anymore. I would look for a local indy shop that comes with recommendations.

jailpro...stay away from dealers. There are as useless as **** on a boar when it comes to amything as old as pans. Seems anything about 10 + years is planned obsolescence. There may be an exception but it is not the rule. I live on the west coast in northern Kalif. There are only two shops (both not factory endorsed) that rebuild pans. I go to the HD shops for my 60 weight oil and still get some pimply-faced kid who looks at me like I just stepped off the planet Mars. F**k 'em, if it wasn't for us they would not be here today.
