Default SoCal shop recommendations
Looking to start building my 883 Iron and wanted to get some recommendations on shops out here for engine work. I don't have the proper equipment or set up (or time) to do anything myself. Any input is appreciated! Thanks brothas!

I don't really have a limit on distance, other than staying in SoCal. and looking for engine work mainly. Eventually looking to do a 1250 conversion, but small stuff for now like tuning and setup.

I've used Born Free up in Glendale for my Dyna, I've also heard good things about Supreme in the Valley.

Check out a place called 1Down on Magnolia in Riverside. I've had work done by them before. The place is owned by a guy named Goldie. They used to be located in Berdoo, but they recently relocated to Riverside. This guy has some sick customized HD's. You can see some of his bikes on his youtube channel. Just search "1Down".
