I'm leaning toward the Indy. While I'm as picky as anyone out there, I do trust my mechanic with my most prized possession! Give em a chance, and I think it will all work out.

I'm shocked that anyone would even work on your stuff with your past attitudes. Check any of your past posts, all you do is bash Harley, the dealers and mechanics.

Well, I surely wish that I lived close enough to HD110 so that He or his Dad could ALL of my service work on my Harley! I've done enough mechanic work (on farm tractors and trucks) to know a 1st class shop when I see or hear about one. This place is TOP of the line!!! I would let them do my repair work any time!

huh sounds like hearing the shops side of the story definitely saved some negative publicity here. i wish the shop had a chance to tell their side more often on here. sorry the OP's engine is bunk, but it sounds like the shop is willing to do everything possible to make him happy.

You have the interest of the admins and mods on this one.

Age doesn't mean incompetence. Amateurs do it over and over til they get it right, professionals study and train til they can't get it wrong.

his age dosnt matter, he could be 21 years old if his dad owned the shop I'm sure he was there at a early age helping learning everything he could! I bet he had the fastest bike in school.

Thanks for your interest on this thread. I felt I needed to respond, tell my side of the story, so everyone could see the facts as I see them. Things have cooled down between randy and myself. I do see a happy ending in this huge pile of drama. Thats all I've ever wanted to do from the start.
For the record 31todd I did when the MMI dyno shootout.(kudos)
