I recently got my bike back from Bobs Motorsports in Elgin. The bike was running fine when dropped off and last season went to Connecticut, came home and then down to Kentucky. I dropped the bike off in before Easter and did not get the bike back till June 4. The work was done in a week and a half and then I was called in because it would not run correctly. I could only spend another 500 dollars on the bike. They agreed and stated that they would try to stay within the 500 dollar limit. First it was carb work. After that was more work, which it didn't need, then an ignition .... After all this the bike was still not running correctly, even though it was dropped off in running fine but had a few oil leaks.||[]I called the shop every day reminding them that I could not exceed an extra of 500 dollars and was told that the bill would be right around there and that the shop owner didnt care about the money. I thought this meant that they would be eating the labor for throwing parts at it and going nowhere?||[]After 5 weeks, and still no bike, I found the time to go online and google the issue. I was directed to a forum which stated that it was due to a bad ground connection or loose ground on battery. I fowarded the link to the shops email adress. Guess what? The bike Started running after that, but now they were saying that the bike needed more carb work after they went through the carb numerous times.||[]Finally got the call to pick up the bike, after 6 weeks, and the total for the extra work was nowhere around the 500 that I asked for, but was instead 1400 dollars. so my total with the engine work I asked for and the "extra" was 2,400. I picked up the bike and was told that they put a used carb from a sporty on my ultra classic. I asked them if I still had cruise control. I was told that I never had cruise control on that bike. (i had cruise control on that bike)||[]I think I've stated enough. I'm so upset off I don't even want to ride the bike.
