Dumb question but I see people say they take their bike to an indy for repairs. What does that mean.

 

It is a shortening of the word 'independent'. In other words, people take their bikes to a mechanic who is not employed at a franchised Harley Davidson dealership.

 

Thanks. Figured something like that but could never find any definite language for it.

 

Indy.... Alias for Indiana Jones.

 

+1...hell, I gave ya 'thanks' click for the first correct response. It's what we do in here, huh?

 

fatboy, I am still waiting for this thread to be like all the others here. A couple of replies, both correct and incorrect, some name calling, threats of physical violence, references to lineage and ultimately a lock. It's what we do in here, huh?

 

lmbo...dayum, too funny!

 

Yep an Independent bike mechanic who usually has a much greater love for HD's than any HD shop I've ever been to.
The work is better and cheaper, parts are cheaper and the advice from an Indy too is usually cost effective and correct.

 

most Indys are interested in your bike. Most dealers are interested in your money. Get to know your local indys so mods and upgrades will become something to look forward to rather than dread. On a side note, the FSM is your friend.

 

You clowns got it all wrong...
