In praise of Spectrum Motorcycles

[SpankMe]

Just needed to post about what bloody brilliant service and excellent work these guys do.

They first did a spot on job with sorting out the tuning on my GB500 after the engine rebuild and 600cc resleeve. They are always willing to help out and talk about problems with the bike even if they are busy. I went around today to book in the GB500 to check out the speedo after it still wouldn’t go after replacing the cable. They were very busy and completely booked out for the week. As I was trying to book the bike in for the following week, the mechanic had stopped what he was doing and had the front wheel off and identified and fixed the problem in a few minutes. Not the first time they have just stopped what they are doing and helped out with a problem with the GB as soon as I asked about it.

I concur. Most of my mechanical work gets done by Spectrum and i've always been a happy chappy upon completion!

And thanks for letting us know how busy they are at the mo, i was gonna get some work done shortly.

[Darryboy]

I vouch for them as well. Top blokes!

[GR81]

yea, ive heard good things about them from various people.
probably where i will get my work done on the bike once i get it

[bugjuice]

yup, I'm there all the time lately. They're top blokes for sure
probably why they're so busy all the time!

[DirtMad]

They have always dropped what they are doing to help me out with gear advice or parts for the kdx... quite often, its hard to find good help these days

do they have a secret 'kiwibiker' password for good service and deals?

[R6_kid:Me]

when i had the ZXR they got it goin good for me, did the camchain too. Also adjusted the headlight for me when i went to get it VIN'ed something that a certain other shop couldnt do because some twat on a busa needed his radar detector fitted properly...

Shit hot. They can have my business now too. Sound like a good bunch.

yeah, but it's a bit embarrassing..
the passphrase is (and you can't pass this on):

I like to tickle my anus with sandpaper while I suck on 9V batteries and you don't know shit..

It's harsh, but it'll get you the discount..

You don't get if you don't ask bud! Tell Brent that they have a good rep on KiwiBiker and he may be kind to you.

Ditto the comments here. They've been awesome to deal with. Would take any bike there.
Greg has always been very helpful, even to the point of showing me how to fix/maintain things so I didn't have to bring the bike in!

[SpankMe]

Yep, some other bike shops are getting a little too officious. You get the distinct feeling that your not even suppose to be talking to the mechanics.


The best thing about when Spectrum fixed the speedo on the GB is that he didn't even charge me. I offered but he wouldn't have it. I always take my GB there and I'm thinking about talking my SV there too.

Don't forget to mention KB sent you.

[bugjuice]

I tell them about KB all the time, and they know me as Bugjuice too! Aside from the stickers on the bike!!

We should all club together and buy 'em some beer one saturday, and get a bbq goin for 'em
