Decent garage

awrite guys?
I`ll soon be lookin` to get a couple of new tyres on my 883R and then possibly get it converted up to 1200, I`m totally hopless with spanners so I`ll need to get a garage to do it.
I`m near Glasgow and though about WC H-D but are they too dear? and if so is there a reliable garage about in the Glasgow area that isnae too steep ?

Cheers

If its tyres you want try Vinnie on 07789434304 He will come to you remove the wheels fit the tyres and refit the wheels A lot of the guys have used him and are happy with the service provided. As for a garage? Pass! With the demise of Alvins there is no other garage I would put my bike in to. For me, WCH would be a last resort

Re: Decent garage

On my second set of Metzler 880 for my 1340. I like 'em. I know others use Continentals but I believe they are softer so dont last as long.

Unsure about a "best fit" for a Sporty. Will be worth your while to have a look in the Sportster threads and see who fits what.;) Regardless of what you decide on Vinnie will see you right
