Yep. Hank knows what he's doing, is a good guy and does all my service on the hog and Vtx and on the Wing when I had that.

Fraction of the cost of a dealership ... work done exactly as requested and done right the first time.

 

What's the name of Hanks shop and wheres it located?

Widowmaker. Far northern Rougemont.

If that doesn't work for you I have another guy in Garner. Brent. Need to find his web site though. Let me know if you need it and I'll find it for you.

 

Yes I know all about Brent. Probably going to use him since I'm in Clayton.

Thanks

 

ok... so... I had to rebuild the engine on my '05 FLTRi
@ 140,000 oil change, there was a sliver of aluminum, that looked like a slice of a finger nail... the front cam bearing gave up the ghost.
Bike ran fine mind you... but was noticeably louder (not exhaust... but engine)

What can you do with a 11 year old bike, with over 100k on the clock?
Dealership just laugh at you... and then there is that whole "ethics" thing

So it's off the various machine shops, with various engine parts....
while I'm at it... there are a few pieces that could stand replacing... as well as new swing arm bushings... belt, rear sprocket (replaced front @ 106K).

Finally get "the Golden Turd" back in one piece, and man oh man... she is running great, and sounding great..... then I approach a stop sigh....
son of a bitch... freakin rock comes up.... and destroys the new belt

man, I can't win, for losing

 

Hey Raleigh peeps ..

It looks like Ray Price service isnt cutting it. I am a little shocked .. however, I need another Harley service shop to see if I can get my issues fixed.

Heres the problem should you want to read about whats going on ..

I know there are war stories everywhere ... but can I get some suggestions on alternative shops.

I am in a spot where I can hit Raging Bull (really bad reputation in the community), Down Home, Greensboro or Danville. If I have to Ill run out to Sheltons but that really is out of range.

Thanks folks.

Sucks to hear about Ray Price. I know you said Sheltons is a hike, does Sheltons have a decent rep? I stopped at the Smithfield location once and went to service, no service writer just one mechanic. That alone left made me leery

 

Damn what's a guy to do down home only has 2 techs can't see the bike until the 18th. I don't know about raging bull although they do have a master tech.
