[DFW]: DFW's Lounge
I can't really vouch for them....but I have taken my bike to DFW Honda off of 114 & William D. Tate in Grapevine. All I really did was have some general maintenance & fluids changed. They seem fairly reasonable in the pricing and were pretty prompt with a finish time.

Just for fun I went into HD's web site and configured a bike to my specs....
...and this is what it would look like. This bike would cost about $11,500 plus TTL.

Adam, like Jason said... Jake is the man. If all else fails I'll be happy to work on a Z. I've done a few projects myself and have learned ALOT from Jason.
Jody, there's no such thing as a replacemt for the mighty Z-YA. His knowledge and willingness to help are unmatched. Of course I'm a little biased because I'm lucky enough to be able to call him one of my best friends now.

no getting sad jake....ill be around!!

Here's the kicker... Because of new ownership I don't know how much he can do. He still treats you right, but I dunno if he can give you the same type of deal I got 4 years ago.
I have no experience buying new, so I'll let others chime in about that.
I bought my CBR from Ft Worth Motorsports (Honda Town then though). They have new ownership, hence the different name, but the sales rep is still there. He is a white haired dude in his 50's and his name is Butch. If you go in he should be there. He's not pushy at all and gave me the deal I wanted. I was in and out in 5 minutes and he ordered the bike I wanted from their warehouse. Obviously I did payout papers when I picked it up, but he made the initial deal great.

BeeAyche, I have a Honda 750 Shadow....it's a Cruiser. I love riding it.
I used to ride a VFR in So.Cal....but I actually love this Cruiser....it's really easy to ride and very comfortable too.
I would only like the pipes to be louder or maybe one day I will get me a larger engine like a 1300cc or something like that....but for now this 750 is fine. I drilled out the resonators in the pipes for a bit more exhaust....but still need more sound. Loud pipes saves lives !

I warped one of them from making a stupid amateur mistake. Got then replaced but I have a bad wheel bearing (I think) need to look at it some more but I havnt had them time due to work. My company got bought out again and me being a boss means I have a lot of work to do over the next few weeks. But I got one raise and a promotion so far and I'm getting quite a bit of overtime and probably another raise.
^^^right on holmes -
so I scored some really beefy tires...this is one of them after 2 months.. this is show how important an alignment can be..

so today I got my alignment from COBB - I have a 5 yr alignment @ NTB but everytime I go there - they give me shiet about my "aftermarket" parts... I guess having coils, camber, and toe arms means it should cost more..
....MEH - I got 8 alignments out of them so I think I got my $$'s worth..
Anywho - COBB was baller..they did great and just driving in the street I felt the back end NOT want to kick out..
after that - got ALL my tires that have been in my garage mounted and balanced.

16 tires left my house...only 8 came back (all the other tires were DONE from previous drift events or just worn - but still on rims..)
Anyone have any tires for sale....CHEAP...?

Ok Eric and Jake. I will be bugging you guys when I can decide what's next for the Z (suspension or brakes probably).
Jason, I still got your helmet man. Come by on Sunday at Pennington yeah?

Jake I've got my stick wheels now. Two of which have tires on them but they are balding. If youre interested make me an offer. I don't really want to get rid of them but I don't see myself having a use for them anytime soon and I need money bad for my coilovers before I knock my damn fender off lol.
Dang Adam....I wish you still had it too. I need somebody to ride with on the weekends and stuff. I don't ride that much...but if gas prices get high again...I will be riding it to work a lot more.
Funny on the resonators huh ? I tweaked my wrist like a dozen times drilling those things out !

Pat, how'd you warp it ?
