          I would rather trust my bike to a technician that reads the service manual than some backyardigan that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix things.

                For the record: Ray just did a bunch of major work for me and his prices/communication were great the entire time... Check the projects/rebuilds section for my GS1000 restoration thread.

                On the surface, the work looks great - I will give the final report once the engine is back together and running!

                Cheers, Ray

                    Welcome back Bruce... I'm glad at least someone can trigger a response from you!

                    I'm very surprised to see you comment on a thread related to people upholding their end of a deal on this forum... Not one of your strongest subjects in my unfortunate experience!

                      I just got my 80 1100 head back form APE. I originally sent the head to a shop that "specialized" in GS heads. After spending way to much money I learned from APE that the valves were slightly bent and needed grinding. I also had to have it resurfaced due to a low spot between cylinder 2 and 3. Long story short APE has the most affordable prices and they do the best work. Not to mention their customer service is A+. I also had them build a GSXR 1100 head that I am very happy with.

                          Could I have their contact info?

                          PS Back in my day, head shops sold black lights, day-glo posters, Indian bidis, bongs, pipes, rolling papers, incense and Zap comics. Am I leaving anything out?
