What's the shop Animal....That's pretty cool for them to do that.

I've had great luck with Shadleys and Rahns...

I used Shadleys a few years ago and wasn't impressed. Shop was really dirty and took them forever to do the job.

I have 3 guys within 15 minutes that all do great work. One of them was an instructor at MMI. Needless to say I DO NOT have work done at any of the 5 HD shops within an hours ride from me. Actually I did have the closest HD shop install the wiring for my heated gloves I bought yesterday and I had the tools with me to do it but they only charged $11 and change.

I offered to work for nothing, just to learn stuff! The service manager who is a friend laughed and said it was a liability thing with the insurance co.
