    Motorcycle shops in COS

    So if I don't just pay someone to service the TLR, it will not happen and I will miss another year. Yes, year. Parked it and between new baby, work and house, I didn't ride once last year.

    In the past, I either do maintenance myself or have taken a bike to Jackal, but I don't have time and the shop appears to be closed. What are the other options that people recommend in COS? If I have no options, a dealership, but that is not my preferred course.

    Just a basic spring cleaning, fluids, oil, I smelled a faint gas leak when I parked it, and once over.

    Recommendations on locations?

    Can't say I've heard of any good shops down our way. I'd just take it up to Mad-Moto. If you need a bike haul, let me know

    I use to have a TLR. Great bike. I can possibly give you a hand if you need help working on the TLR. I still have my shop manual. Never could get ride of it.

    Thanks armydog, real issue is i just don't have time. Too many "must compete projects" for house and family which leaves no time for my stuff!

    I do love the TLR. When I see the higher resale and sharper lines of the RC51, sometimes I wish I had gone that route, but since I have no intent of selling it and parts are cheaper..... love the one your with. and the seat is so much more comfy, can't imagine making the 500 mile days on a RC like I have done on the TLR.

    Check out go5thgear.com it's a great shop, it's
    more of a DIY, but Mike has over 40 years of experience and can do any job. When you go there tell them Andres sent you for world class treatment. Ohh and prices are super cheap, can't beat it.
