Nick’s Custom Cycles

Very disappointed prices are outrageous for used stuff drove over here from Pennsylvania was a wasted trip also picking up some type of funny attitude when I come I’m a black man and its like I feel of different when they deal with me other and when they’re dealing with your white customers

Not what it used to be. I have been making an annual pilgrimage there for the last 7 years. Have had plenty of work done on my Road King and this year, I’m just turned off.
Their prices are reasonable, always a better bet than going to HD dealer. They have parts for every year and model Harley and if they don’t have it (which they do) they’ll get it. They have a shop on hand for most of your work from oil changes and tune ups to custom frame work. You can walk in there, empty handed and walk out with a built bike, piece by piece. They don’t paint or powder coat but they do have a guy and he is reasonable.
JD is the only mechanic I have let touch my ride for the last 5 years, and I have had plenty of maintenance and custom work done, racking up 1500 dollars in parts and labor a few times. This year, 2500 was my budget and they spent every cent.
I don’t think I got what I paid for, this time, though. My first concern was rider safety and machine integrity then any money left over I wanted powder coating and replacement on some rusty parts.
When I came to pick it up, I asked if they gave it a good once over, to be sure it was ride ready for a long haul and to my pleasure, they told me it was 100%.
They were not honest with me. The front and rear tire were flat, 5psi. The switch connector for the fog lamps was not on correctly and the lights would not light. The switch was damaged (not by them but I asked them to look) and nobody told me the brakes needed changing. Those were the items I would have addressed first and let the custom stuff wait.
What was insulting was that my bike came out FILTHY. Granted, it was dirty when I dropped it off as it had been outside for a long time. But when I dropped it off I asked if they can clean it up so it would be presentable. There’s was an inch of crud on it. It looked like they did carpentry and ceiling work around it while it sat.
To add insult to injury, JD told me, when he wheeled out my filthy and unsafe bike «I tried to clean it, but our soap and water don’t work too good» I think I would rather if he just said, «you only spent 2500 bucks and left it here over the winter and we gave you bottom of the barrel service and don’t really care» at least that would have been honest.
It’s a great place to check out with a museum and volumes of spaces to check out. Make the trip, if you can, it won’t be there forever and once it’s gone, it’s gone. But be ware, if you aren’t a local or a regular you might not get treated like royalty… Or with the respect a 2500 dollar price tag should garner.
Enjoy!
