Looking for restoration help in Arlington Texas

Post by gophur » Wed Sep 29, 2010 5:13 pm

My father recently passed away and left me his wonderful garage stored 1965 CB77. I remember riding this thing as a kid. He met my mother while riding this to New Brunswick from Florida. I love this bike. Always have.

I am however a game designer at heart and not a mechanic. So while I'd love nothing more than to pour my own blood, sweat, tears and love into this project, I know that if I want something that is reliable that I can tool around on every other sunny Sunday I'm probably going to want some help getting it running.

It's in great shape but it's sat for years.

Does anyone know "that guy" in DFW who lives and breathes these things, who would be able to take on a modest resto job on a bike like this and who would treat it with the love and respect such a machine deserves?

Ed is one hell of a guy I think allot of us have used him in some way and it was all good.
I cant say anything bad about him at all and that comes from getting good help and work from him.
