Praise - Those traders and mechanics that make you feel good about the world

As you all know I bent the crap out of my wheels so hunting around I was directed to motoforum.net, a site filled with people who tend to race, where in turn, lots of people recommended Steve Jordan motorcycles for chassis, wheel and fork straightening. I called them and explained what Id done and they were so nice, they said just go straight to the people they use for straightening services: www.motoliner.com where I can get them straightened and at half the price quoted to me by Wheelpower. For one shop to send you straight to their supplier and save you the mark up is a result! I will let you know how I get on with motoliner

 

Is that Motoliner in Catford?

 

No, these guys are Maidstone, Kent way

 

That's interesting they can straighten discs too.....wonder if I still have my bent wavyes in the garage!

 

wavey's are meant to look like that fella.

 

Can recommend Steve Jordan for suspension set up.

 

Being so local to Motoliners at Aylesford, we've used them to straighten fork legs & check frame & yokes. Once just to shift a swingarm bolt that NOTHING would move. Father & son business who are fairly cheap, friendly & down to earth (not up themselves like some 'experts'). As Tanya says, they're kept busy by racers & I believe have a good reputation among them. We took the forks off to save money but reckon they'll take a complete bike if they've time.

Most discs are cast aren't they? Prob have to be skimmed if there's enough left & I don't know if Motoliners have such machines.

I've used Perry at HM Racing in Edenbridge for suspension set up. Cost is £100 if no parts are needed. They also support race teams & have latest Dyno & seem to know how to use it.

 

HM Racing certainly know how to use the Dyno! Have had suspension done by them on my old Blade. Perry explained what did what and what I could expect; very impressed.

 

DHR - Dover - Dave Hammond - awsome Guy mate his set ups are Sweet has a Dyno there and a Dealer for Power comanders - Will give you all great Discounts if you mention thsi site and Me

 

Laguna's I know a few people have had issues, but would like to say that when I picked up the Daytona today the mechanic that actually worked on it brought it round to the front of the shop and showed and explained exactly what the problem was and what he had done to give some temporary relief. I even have the old sensor connector which they replaced with one from an old loom they had in the workshop. I only paid for the labour, and we all know that some places would have charged for the second hand connector.

 

Good news Kev.
Was it the connector then?

 

Connector had been gradually destroyed by the bent fairing bracket and was shorting out. The fact that it happened immediately after the oil change I did was in fact totally coincidental. Strange but true.

 

Motoliner rocks! Definitely recommend them. www.motoliner.com. Miracle workers extraordinaire!

 

So if you're back on 2 wheels now are you still doing the bends thing with the Spinal Doc?

 

TAGG Racing at Bethersden, just off A28. Two great guys. Have fitted many tyres for me, balancing for free sometimes, good suspension set up and servicing if you need it. Think they have a dyno and do tuning too.

 

Who needs a garage?

I nominate megawatt, who told me what was wrong with my bike despite him not knowing me from Adam...

 

You can run , but you can't hide Tom!
Thanks ro06k5

 

Lol he loves checking chains and then giving an ear bashing !!!

 

I dare him to find anything wrong with my chain
