advice on a good shop

[Diablito]

Looking to get some body work done/ mods and not sure on too many shops around the valley. Postive experience etc, any info is appreciated.

[evilbeef54]

what are you looking to get done

[Diablito]

Well, my bike got hit while it was parked so it has some body damage/scratches etc. Probablly going to put yosh trc pipe on it while the plastics are off. Might start messing with sprockets/gearing depending on the prices.

[Blue Devil]

there was a guy on here, Fastrr or something like that and he did work. You looking to get stock new plastics or fiberglass the existing ones? There are plenty of guys, me included, that are good at turning wrenches if you dont want a shop to do it. We just started a shop review forum at the very bottom. Check it out

[evilbeef54]

yea you can get plastics cheap on ebay, as far as pipes, sprokets, and bolt on stuff like that there are a lot of us that can help

[Diablito]

Will see how much I get on the check from insurance, and thanks for the offers on the help. I'll start looking at the prices.

[evilbeef54]

hell yea if your gonna get an insurance check, have one of us help (for a beer or two) and pocket the rest, or buy more upgrades

Best shop in town I know of is North Valley Honda Kawasaki
Mark Ledesma runs the service dept and is very sharp

Sharp when it comes to working on bikes, but even sharper on the track. Watching him at Firebird last year was awsome. Once CJ gets on she can offer some tips as she has known Mark for a long long time, she was the one that introduced me to him at the races.


Thumbs up for North Valley

im in the same boat as you. today I just got hired and the company van hit my bike. great luck huh. hopefully they will cover all these parts.

Thing wrong with it:
Bent the exhaust ($300)
Mirrors, brake levers ($75)
Front, Right Side and tail fairings cracked ($432)
Paint job that I had on it ($900)

might not need fairings if they can just bond it up.

so I'll be looking for a shop to get all this done to

[Skull-Rid3r]

check out this exhaust, i think its to good to be true. It almost looks like the headers are stock?? what do u guys think.

hahaha. Sorry i had to laugh at your expense. that is signature worthy

If anyone needs to work on their bike i have all the tools at my place and i have quite a bit of work to do on my bike.

[Skull-Rid3r]

well i didnt spend that much money on it, ill find out how much it really is this week. I know that I wouldnt have spend 900 on it. but hey, if i can get a reciept saying that more power to me when I get my bike repainted.

what do u think about that exhaust though

[Blue Devil]

yea its a nice one. As for paint i can get your bike painted for way under 900 with a gloss black

[Diablito]

As far as exhaust check out fuelmotousa.com , and look up the yosh cyclone tri cone dual tip exhaust $$ and the shittiest part of all the damages on my bike were so much insurance guy says its probablly totalled..

Blue Devil, You have a painter on call? I have a scratch on my tail section I need painted. To replace it cost $247.00. Maybe your painter can fix it for much less. Can you let me know.

[Blue Devil]

just a buddy that does small work on his own time. He doesnt do fixing as it would cost just as much as a new one. Find a good shape used one.
