What area are you closest to? I know a really good Indy in Chattanooga. You might have heard of him...Dr. Dave is his name. I bought my bike from Bubba's in Nashville. They are always running engine build special's.

Dude,
I LOVE wrenching on these things.
If I could do it for 40 hours a week for FREE, I would!
C'mon up.
We'll all 3 go for a ride afterwards!

Thanks for the invite, I've started doing my own service and would love to learn more. I told the service guy at Thunder Creek I would work for nothing just to learn. He laughed and said he would love to have me, but it was an Insurance thing about having non employee's in the shop. When the weather let's up, I would love to take you up on the ride offer. My wife and I are up that way almost every weekend during riding season.

I think there is a HD dealer that does HQ builds somewhere in Middle GA not sure. I'm sure HQ could recomend someone. Was thinking of doing one myself ( not the wrenching) till I totaled up the cost of my build sheet. Anyone ever tried to tell their wife they needed more power for saftey reasons?
