Where is your wrench? Mine is in northern NJ
As I was reading through a lot of posts, I realized that a lot of guys are paying too much / frustrated at what they are being charged at their dealerships. I have an amazing mechanic (aka my local wrench) who has been working on Harley's for almost 40 years, and still charges $60.00 / hour for what he does, not what it says in the book it will take. He is a great guy, is a walking encyclopedia of Harley knowledge, and does things the old school way - he even yelled at me when he saw that my helmet isn't flat black! I wanted to share the information about him for those in the middle / northern NJ, NYC or Rockland / Orange County NY area - his name is:
Dennis, and his company info is:
D & S Cycle Fabrication
32 Colfax Ave
Pompton Lakes, NJ 07442-1740
(973) 831-9944

Please share who you use so that those who aren't in the know, or are new to riding a Harley (and getting work done on them) have a place to go.... thanks!

Evidently, the old schoolers only know one color... flat black. Everything else is a 'yuppy color'... you've got to laugh at it, but the man can sure fix / fabricate anything you need for a bike. I will take that kind of abuse any day... for the service / quality I get. AND... I aint getting flat black....
Oh yeah, I get a sambucca and espresso when I stop by as well... you don't get that at HD!!

Ditto what maineultraclassic said... I've been wrenching since I was 14, not on Harleys but on every other mechanical device known to man. Hell, when the shuttle blew up with the teacher on board we were watching it from top of Mt. St. Lucie, (local dump), and even my ignorance knew that there were temperature thresh holds to consider with any type of O-ring let alone special application seals. The only other person to work on my bike is a machinist for those things I can't do with wrenches/hand tools.
