They are out of Texas in case that helps. If it is much more I am considering getting a repo from Jim Carter or one of the others. Thanks in advance

So the search close to home begins.
Thanks guys

You should be able to find a good one where you live. Phone a harley shop and ask them if they know of any good shops locally | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 709 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2001 Posts: 709 | Just wondering if this guy is still around and in business.

That harley suggestion is good, but I tried that here in Oklahoma, and there answer was "no one". So it may not give you the answer you hope for. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | Stay away from Superior Chrome. I'm one of several people on this board who had parts damaged by them. And yes, Superior Chrome in Austin, TX is the brother of Rodney Baker. Has he moved to Austin? He was in Houston when he screwed up my hood bird. His name is Bobby Baker. He's bad news. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | Here\'s the thread about my ordeal. Read all of it.
