In fact he talked my out of some stuff that I would have purchased as I thought it would be beneficial but really wasn't for my application.

Thanks Tony for the recommendation. I will post back after the upgrade and give my opinions on the work and performance then.....
I've heard of them,but don't know of anyone who has used them, other than for oil changes.How could you forget about the legend who is right around the corner??Does the name Andy Simon ring a bell???Mutiple record holder in almost every facet of the drag racing world!! He is in Langhorne near Perruzzi Nissian.His nephew Larry, of Larry's Hot Rods & Harley's is in Penndel.They both are damn near legends with Harley's,how did you miss them??

I don't think the SERT or SEST will be an issue for him.

I deal with Larry at Larrys Hot Rods and Harleys off New Falls Rd. Didn't care for guy at Throttle City. Talked down to me when I was asking questions. Seemed a little full of himself to me. JMO

How did your build turn out? Mine is OK but not tuned yet, I tried Larry's but he had a problem with his computer...sent my bike home and I'm still waiting for him to call me back...might be going back to throttle city

Lots of people are learning Chuck is an arrogant ***.. Talks down to a lot of people and is not that great at what he does..

Just did a service on a bike yesterday, he did the last one. Where's the O rings Chuck? LOL. I guess using the plumbers goo is good enough? Did ya really need to tighten the filter with a wrench? Needed a breaker bar to get it off..

Seviced my buddies Fatboy 2 months ago, same thing.. No O rings and had to crush the filter to get it off..

Friend had him do a thundermax and tune his 07 ST.. Had the wires so tight that they ripped apart on his first ride. Went thru 2 sets of plugs cause it wasnt dynoed correctly and then CHucks yells at him like it's his fault. Theres a grand down the drain..

Friend had the big bore kit put on his, we were tighening **** up for weeks after.. LOL, front exhaust bolts fell off..

Good Luck.. I'd use Simons before ever walking into TC.

Thanks for the info...I had a similar experience (talk down at me) at TC but I need a tune. Larry had my bike in shop for over a week, had some software issues and sent me home. I stopped by, called him, and he isn't calling me back, its just a harley 103 with a sest. Is Simons his Uncle? I might stop by there on Monday....Bob
