Default Custom shops in the USA

So riding season here in Vancouver is gone and have to pack the bike away for the winter. I was thinking about riding it down and getting the 95" kit done as well as some other custom mods (wheels, rear fender). Not sure where to start looking for shops but ideally looking for somewhere that does quality work at a reasonable price.
Any suggestions?

Hillside Performance in New York would be my recommendation!

Just curious these guys are local to me and was wondering how their work was, but I take it from your comment they don't have a good name. Wanting to build the motor in my breakout and I was considering going to them, as a couple people here have recommended them. Had the dealership do cams and port work on my SG, just don't really want to pay the big $$ to have them do what I'm wanting to do to the Breakout.

The laugh comment was because of the OP's location- Vancouver.
I hold Scott and Hillside Performance in the highest regard. They did my 98" kit last February and I'm thrilled with it. I have not done a dyno tune yet as I'm going to get heads done this winter, but I'll risk saying i'm push 95 HP & TQ. It is a hot rod. Scott is a straight shooter, answered all my stupid questions, gave good advice, didn't try to sell me anything I didn't ask for, and delivered a great product. I highly recommend them. Worth every penny of the approximately $650 I spent.
