then why are Harley's so dear?

Sarge where has your patriotism gone you are usually so proud of "good ole Usa". You must be turning into a Kiwi. You will be knocking all the successful "Tall Poppies" next. Not a good sign man.. Then comes the preoccupation with world events. Nothing wrong with Harleys the product is pretty damm fine stuff Its the problem with the image that has been created by the bean counters.

Website says it's parked & looks incomplete and your listings on Trademe certainly don't look like a bargin... They look like standard wrecker prices.

I just wanted to give a plug for great Ducati service. I discovered Toby Beadle out in West Auckland and got him do the valve shims on my 2V Ducati.

Great guy to deal with. He was also happy for me to watch while he did the job and even teach me how to do it for myself next time. However because he's got a professionally equipped workshop at home ... and his charge was extremely reasonable (I guess he doesn't have the overheads of leasing an expensive workshop and running staff) I'll just get him to do it next time!

He's obviously pretty popular with Harley, Ducati and Buell owners as these seem to make up a fair proportion of his work.

Disclaimer: I have no affilitiations with Toby Beadle I just like to plug great friendly service.

I looked at getting my really old and worn jacket modded last year by Kerrie, mainly seeing if I could get armour added and also whether I could get my really too tight leather trousers modded. She talked me out of it(and hersef out of some work) by recommending I just go for new leathers.

She gave me some good dvice on how to select some and made a few recommendations.

I subsequently bought some Quasi gear. Brett and Paula were great to deal with and I am really happy with the service and the quality of the gear. The jacket was tight enough to leave bruises on my arms for the first few wears but it now feels really good.

Cheers to both people.

Yep, Toby serviced my bike whilst at WWH and I have since been to his new home garage. I will stick with his service.

I posted some other threads on KB about his garage and the deals he is doing, such as the $60 basic service package.

LOL...yeah but I'm good and I like a challenge! I did a scooter seat recently...chewed up foam, what was left of the vinyl was brittle and the kid who owned it didnt have the dollars to pay for new foam...If I do say so myself I did a darn fine job, Flashest thing on the bike by the time I'd finished!
You should see what I'm going to have to do to my Ltd seat to get it to fit my womanly butt and long legs...Sheesh! Should end up with small storage space under the seat pan just big enough to store a few essentials.

I dropped my bike and am keen to get it back in good shape , does anyone know of a specialist in tank repair . I want the best job I can afford rather than giving it to the local panel beater and hoping for the best .

[smmudd83_1999]

DON'T USE Zinc and Chrome Ltd, in Seaview near Lower Hutt, Wellington.
The did a right duff job on rechroming my old VN1500's luggage rack and sissy bar. The prep work was really shoddy - I could tell they didn't spend anytime on rust removal between the rack's cross members. When I saw the job they had done I asked why they hadn't done between the spars and they said they didn't have a hand angle grinder, only a bench grinder!! Yeah, right! A metal finishing company without an angle grinder/polishing machine!! It's metal finishing 101!
Suffice to say it only lasted a couple of months. And boy, they know how to charge!

Crap job.
Expensive.
Poor customer service.
