Looking to get a 107 kit with head work and gear driven cams don on my 2012 Street Glide before Christmas. I like the fuel moto kit but its too far to travel and I dont think I am ready to do this type of work on my bike yet. I live in Southeast PA right outside of Philly. Can anyone recommend a shop to do the work at a reasonable price? If anyone has personal experience with a shop I would appreciate any feedback. Right now I am considering Simons Competition, has anyone used them? What type of warranty should I expect to receive with the work?
Simons is great.Andy the owner is a super wrench.I have been using them for 15yrs.They are really up on the newer bikes.
Thanks for the quick response... What type of work has Andy done for you? Do you know anyone who has the 107" Kit done thru Andy, if so how happy were they with the overall experience? I am curious because I have not been able to find any info on the web about his shop and I just want to make sure I go with someone who does quality work and will stand behind their work.
I use Mike's Custom Cycle and Machine, he is in Southern Chester County, straight down Rt 1 past Longwood Gardens. Not sure if that's convenient for you or not but he's very good, he does mostly performance work and custom bike builds. PM me for his info if you want it.

I used Simons for some dyno work and wasn't impressed at all! I also had them install a motor mount that broke shortly after the install. They did not use a torque wrench and it seems like they fly by the seat of their pants. Maybe when it comes to engine work they are more professional.
