Default Good Independents in SoCal?

Anybody recommend a good independent shop in SoCal - just seen the dealers servicing prices and they just don't add up.

I'd like to have a go myself but I have the mechanical aptitude of a monkey... any thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

I've been to County Line in Simi and they seemed to have a legit shop. There's also Dr. VTwin as well as Dyno Daves in the SFV. I've been to Dyno Daves (he dyno'd my bike) and I've been to County Line. I have not been to Dr. VTwin yet (I believe he's a sponsor on here so you can message him for any inquiries). Those are the only ones I know of around my area. I'm sure there's alot more.

Since you are in the OC, try Freedom Cycles on Katella Ave in Orange (near the Anaheim line).

Full Service Cycles in Santa Fe Springs. Just off the 5 Fwy at Valley View.
888-885-7770. Jesse is a one man shop and does great work at a fair price.

Freedom has a good rep

There's also 8Ball Rods and Choppers in Placentia, and Jim's Specialties in Fullerton.

Hmmm, I'm guessing RyKR is replying to some other thread but through some wormhole in the galaxy, his post ended up here.

I've used Miles at DIA Motorsports in Rancho Dominguez. Good work and fair prices.
