Santiago---I used to get ALL of the custom motorcycle
magazines and must say,don't get your hopes up.One of the
reasons that I closed my shop,was that, moneywise,it's hard for a small independant shop,to compete with the "Big Boys"Times have changed.I don't consider mechanics NOW to really be
mechanics.It used to be ,Remove&Repair,NOW it's,Remove&
Replace!You don't have to figure things out anymore.You just
replace things.That means that unless you're registered with the
state&have aTax #,the parts companys won't give you a special
price.I used to keep customers phone #s,on their work order,and
would call them before ordering the parts.Congratulations on your posts. Irish
