Default yet another dumb question
greetings...this is a purely curiosity non-substantive question... what does "INDY" mean when referring to a bike shop/mechanic? I'm guessing INDY=ND=non-dealer?

Indy is just short for an independent shop. A non-HD dealer shop that works on bikes.

No problem. Normally they are cheaper than the dealer or offer above and beyond service a dealer will perform for a similar price.
They don't have the overhead a full blown dealership has.

At an independent shop it's likely the owner has a direct hands on relationship with the service you require.

HD may not honor your warranty if an INDY dealer works on your bike however.

That is BS. I have had work done on my bike by an Indy and have had no problems with my warranty!
