Do not repeat DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH FAYMYERS.......eveytime I go in there it feels like I'm gonna have to grab my ankles....
Lets get some good info in here!!!
Lets here some reccomendations for good shops, mechanics, dealers ect in our area! This would be good to help anyone out looking to get thier bike worked on ect and not wanting to get boned in the process.
Here are my experiences:
Good
Mountain Performance Cycle (Longmont, CO)
For major engine work, he can even machine his own parts. Tom is a classy guy. Runs his shop at his house. He does work for the AMA and MRA. He rebuilt my engine after the headaches I have been through without one single gripe. He quoted me a price over the phone when we first talked about workin on my bike. He stuck with the quote the whole time. I came in just a bit more than the original quote because he replaced a couple gears.
I don't want to post his ph# but if you are interested in having him work on your bike (he likes bare engines, not the whole bike BTW) email me at [email protected]
Perfomance Cycle (Denver, CO)
These guys are very helpfull for parts, apparel, oil ect. Anything from Hardleys to Ducati's. They are a tad on the pricey side but worth a stop by. They are willing to help you make a right decision on fitting ect. They do have good sales though, be sure to check them out at the end of the season for clearances. I got a Fieldsheer 2 piece for about a total of 600.00 bucks from them at a end of the year sale.
Erico Powersports (Denver, CO)
Yes these guys are a Triumph dealer. They sell a big amount of used bikes though. Ton's of wrecked and used parts. They also do good on new OEM parts (For any bike imaginable). They have a Dyno and a good shop. They are a tad pricey but I have herd one of the best Suzuki mechanincs in the state works there.
Bad
Excel Motorsports (Denver, CO)
At least the one off of Colfax is awful. Avoid these people like the plauge. I have had my bike in there for warranty work so many times I cannot count them all. Thier Sales people are flat out liars in my dealings with them. Thier shop is shit. They say they do things and then do not come through. They even fucked my bike up when replacing one of my many CCT so bad it ended up splitting a cam in half! STAY AWAY!!!!
Anyway that is something to get started with. I have herd from many of you about other good shops and dealers but I never delt with them so feel free to let us know your experience!

Hey thankx alot Jon for the info.
Constantly, my motor was built at their shop and I've hung around the place enough to get a good feel for their work.Hey Pb thankx for the info on TK I have to get my 05 1k tuned and have heard of them but no one really delt with them just other friends.

Seriously?? Why? I plan on buying from Fay Myers because Grand Pee sucks! (service department, anyways. Ran the front fender of my gs-500 against a brick wall and scraped the snot out of it) And the sales floor is like a pack of vultures even if you're walking through to parts.AlphaOne said:Do not repeat DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH FAYMYERS.......eveytime I go in there it feels like I'm gonna have to grab my ankles....
Over in Mormonville:
Bike Sellers in Layton, UT is great.
Newgate Motorsports in Ogden, UT is overpriced

I bought my bike at Fay even though Grand Prix is closer. The reason is that I am afraid they might not take care of me if the bike has any factory problems under the first year warranty. Mainly because they jacked around on warranty issues with two friends bikes. After some finagling, one friend got Grand Prix to concede the position on the nature of the problem and they fixed it all at no charge.
The other friends bike had to be taken someplace else to get the transmission problem addressed. It kept popping out of gear.
Then there is my apartment complex maintenance guy telling me two horror stories about service dept before the other two incidents.
Grand Prix lost at least two major bike sales over a history of service incompetence and dishonesty "as far as friends & I are concerned".
The parts and accessories department is great. Overpriced as expected. If you can wait, order it online. If not they are friendly, professional and knowledgable. Except the new cute young blonde. But she is excused.
One last thing, Fay Myers is owned by Ralph Schomp Honda. Although they probably run slightly differently, Ralph Schomp Honda/BMW has exceptional customer satisfaction ratings and are one of the highest resellers of units in Colorado and the Mid West. I would think that the motorcycle shop would perform service very well.
That doesn't stop me from checking all my fluids, testing my ride before leaving their parking lot after a service.

Selwyn Sray is the man that turned me on to GIXXERs. He works at Fay Meyers.
Definitely check out Supertune Motorsports in Wheat Ridge. Mike is the owner's name and he's 100% class. Had my fork seals done there and he was probably 35% cheaper than everyone else in town. Holds meets & tech sessions at his shop and also does track days.
Hit up their website, lots of stuff on there.
