Recommendation for Indy Shop in Spokane or Wenatchee WA
SO I'm looking for reliable Indy shop in Spokane or Wenatchee WA. Any recommendations ? Also is going to indy shop a good idea or just stick with HD dealer. Are indies reliable ? Just looking for every 5000 mile services, put on some parts, change handlebars, tires and such. May be do Stage I, Stage II and add some more lighting eventually.
Have 2016 SGS with 35,000 miles and dealer wants $500 for every 5000 miles service even though I provide my own Engine, transmission and primary oil.

I live in SE WA and have only dealt with Lone Wolf HD in Spokane. Bought about $600 of LED light components there. The parts manager's advice was good and it worked out fine. I did the install.
What do you mean by a "service"? I hate that term. I understand what's in the official HD maintenance chart for my bike, by miles, but no where does it describe a "service". Dealers that use that term are trying to be funny in my book. $500 for a 3 hole lubricant change where you provide the lubes sounds high. Maybe they are doing other stuff too in their "service". Make them explain what.

Back on track..Lawrence did my new tires, Dunlop elites. More important, I had that infamous broken front exhaust stud, the one right behind the frame. ****, I mean shoot. I could get it, but it would mean taking enough stuff off to move the engine enough to get a straight shot at it.
Lawrence tackled it. It took the owners experience, but he had the tool necessary for drilling out the broken stud behind the frame. It took patience and about three hours. It would have taken me days, maybe 3.
I dont know if id have let another Indy do it. It was the first time I had someone else replace a broken stud. Never easy, but drinking coffee and watching them work...priceless.

Thanks for the feedback. Before I read ur response I googled and found Vintage V-Twin in Spokane. Good reviews so far. I have scheduled my 35,000 mile service which is $250.00 (HD Dealer $500 I bring my Engine, primary and trans oil). Thats ridiculous!!! Dealer charging $500 with no oil.
Thanks again.

I've heard good things about Vintage VTwin as well. I just have not needed to use them yet. Glad you found a good source for your motorcycle support.
