https://www.facebook.com/reel/2270950576438082 This is about the only place in the metro that will work on.... " OLD "... Had them order and mount tires for my 82' Xs two-wheel money pit. Run by younger guys so myself and buddies try and support the shop. At times I'll swing by b Saturdays with pizza.... let them know we appreciate them.... 😎
 
It’s a growing problem in many cities. New bike dealers will not work on “older“ bikes. My neighbour has a 2007 Kawasaki that needed work and the local Kawasaki dealer turned him away (he ended up in my driveway to get the bike fixed). My advice for people who want a vintage bike is be prepared to roll up your sleeves and start wrenching, because there will be less support around going forward. If one is wise, find a bike with great on line support like XS650.com, then you should be able to address most issues yourself.
 
Mike do you have a name or website for this shop
Being in MN it would be handy to know
Thanks !!
 
I just thought that since Mike is from Mpls there would be one near there

Good job supporting your local shop. If you don't, one day you'll need them and they will be gone.
