High Country in Frederick. Thunder Mountain is closer and bigger, but I think you'll get better service at HC.
High Country is good and haven't had a problem with Thunder Mountain as well. Service guys there are good. I will give props to Greeley Harley. Just saved a guy from Illinois who lost a front wheel bearing. Since he was in the middle of nowhere and expected to take close to 3 hours to get a wrecker out I loaded him up and offloaded him at Greeley. They had him up and rolling in about 2 hours.
Ummm wish you hadn't mentioned wheel bearings. I have new ones sitting in my office waiting to be installed but too lazy to get around to it. Both my front and rears feel like a bag of gravel!
OK so God just smiled on me a little bit more! I'm a self employed Carpet Cleaner and the one big job I had scheduled tomorrow just called and cancelled due to the fact they suddenly have a flea infestation. Those things eat me alive and I'm highly allergic to them. So now I have all day tomorrow to hopefully get some sleep to where I can leave and now arrive in Estes much earlier. If I weren't so tired and sleepy currently I could actually leave tonight since my cabin is currently available tomorrow night also.

Good luck. One more wake up and you're on your way, if I'm understanding correctly. Hopefully your truck brakes are good to go. I know I was a little worried about the brakes on my Wide Glide, of coarse I only got worried about them when I was already there as I didn't really think of it before hand. I checked at the first hotel I stayed at and my pads were worn some but still had enough on them that I figured they would be ok. I used a lot of engine braking there. (I replaced the pads when I got back)
When I rode up the mountains, ie Pike's Peak, I put my rain jacket on before I went up as it helped with the cold. It was also already on if a rain storm popped up.
I have decided I am going back though CO, on my way to Jackson and Yellowstone. Though I won't be leaving till the 8th of September for about a ten day trip.

Decided since I am in Colorado, why not go ahead and get "HIGH" LOL
Mount Evans and did well but that thin air started getting to me eventually. Had some Denver locals on a Yamaha Venture in front of me so they got the benefit of being videoed the entire way up. They took my picture and I gave them my YouTube handle. I had at least 50 people comment on my Tenn tags!!!!
