I recently resurrected my 1974 BMW R90/6 from a 7 year deep freeze in my shop. It was dusty and the then new tires had flat spots from sitting. I recently accepted a position which requires a bit of travel and felt the time was right to get the bike out to fight fuel costs and I wanted to ride again. Chuck House motorsports treated me fairly as I respected their recommendations on what to do with the old bike. It came down to selling it to Chuck for parts or moving forward with a price tag that out stripped the market value of the bike. We opted for exploratory surgery and a partial rebuild that was a known quantity for the vintage. Chuck worked on the bike personally to ensure that the safety and quality of the rebuilding effort stayed on course. This was the course that we set only after I agreed to a tear down to find out what was wrong and then make an assessment. Needless to say the bike rides as stock and if I have any quirks with it Im welcome back to the shop for a quick adjustment. The cost was exactly what he detemined during the first phase and not a penny more. Chucks experience with these bikes is an invaluable resource and every diagnosis was right on nothing was rushed for the sake of my time table. If it needed to be looked into (self machined pushrods, a bent fork brace?) he scoped out and fixed the problem. If you believe in letting people who know what they are doing do their job then Chuck is the right guy to work on your European bike. I mean he only had 30+ flooded bikes in the shop that I saw now running.
Pros: read review
Cons: traffic at the shop location is not MC friendly
