Even though JD's Cycleworks is a sadly fading memory....
I cannot say enough about how awesome Dave is.
Dave picked Vader up from me at Thanksgiving to get the oil tank swap finished up. While he had it, he changed out the engine fasteners to 12-point SS, fixed a broken compression release, diagnosed (and replaced) a leaking in-tank fuel line, re-dynoed it (f-n thing is still making awesome power), and cleaned it. Oh, and he left me J's kick-ass 95" Dyna to ride (which someone here should buy, the bike is just silly fun). So he was planning on bringing it back down next weekend when he and Wise Dave came to visit for the Timonium bike show. But they're calling for a freaking blizzard next weekend, so..... ......He and J drove down here today to drop off Vader and pick up BOPS (Big Orange Piece 'o $hit). Let me say that again.....Dave and J drove 400 miles round trip to drop off and pick up a bike for me. Never mind that I know that my bike was worked on by one of the best (if not the best) Harley guy in the country. Never mind that I was charged a completely fair price. Never mind that the staff at Pocono Mountain Harley has been fantastic to deal with. I know that everything was done right, and I know I'll feel the same way in a couple of weeks when BOPS is done. I have no issue dealing with a dealer that's 200 miles away, because I know I'll be taken care of there. I'm proud and humbled to call Dave and J friends. Thanks!

Yup.
Dave drove down here one weekend to troubleshoot a sound that I wasn't liking with the old 103 build.

Thank you Russ for continuing to trust me with your bikes and for this awesome post!
 Even though I no longer own my shop, I still look at every bike that I get to work on as an opportunity to help some one achieve their personal goals with their ride. You guys are awesome!

Went out and rode Vader today after nearly a year off. Dave touched up the tune while he had the beast and took what was already a fantastic tune and turned it into something that has been anointed by God.
He somehow found more power under the peak so that there's less of a hit when the cam comes on. Vader accelerates like a force of nature now.....The front end gets light - which is damn impressive for a Softail. Dave, you 'da man.
