Testimonials

This Bike is three months old, 2008 Road king Classic. I had 1.50 Fly in Ape Hangers, installed by the Cycle Doctor this week in Costa Mesa. Geoff had recommended Carlini bars as a choice to consider. Geoff and his staff, had some challenges to overcome, but in the end they did an outstanding job, completing the work, not to mention putting up with me. I know this was uncharted waters for an 08 with the fly by wire technology, but in the end, a great result. Geoff thought these might be the first Carlini Bars installed on an 08 Road King Classic, in So Cal. Anyway love the bars, Geoff and his staff did a great job and most importantly the customer is happy.

Thanks for the great bars Carlini

Thanks Geoff and your staff at the Cycle Doctor

Geoff,

Thanks for the great tune (or as you say, calibration)!!! Night and day difference between your work and the other (shall go unnamed) well known tuner. There’s no stumble off idle, and a smooth roll-on with plenty of power. I checked inside of my pipes when I got home – toasty brown, as they should be. After I left the other guy, they were soot black.

Not only does a well-tuned bike just flat out run better, but it adds to my riding confidence. BIG smile on my face, Geoffrey. Thank you very much!

Follow up: I took the scoot for a ‘therapy ride’ after work today. MAN what a difference. It’s back to being fun to ride!!! Great work.

Thanks to Geoff @ Cycledoctor for taking the time to work with and tune my 131” EFI motor. I was having some detonation, starting, and idle problems that were very frustrating. Geoff took the time to listen to the problems that persisted after a tune that was done previously somewhere else. He spent 5-6 tedious hours working to get the AFR spot-on and making the correct timing adjustments based on fuel quality here in California.

I recommend Geoff to everyone I know who is looking to have a tune or work done on their bike. He has tuned 2 bikes for me and they are the best tunes I’ve ever had. Geoff prides himself in being and doing the best job the first time. You will get the very best while dealing with Geoff@ Cycledoctor. FWIW- You get what you pay for when it comes to tuning…

Best regards,
Shane

Hi Geoff,

Just wanted to stay in touch and let you know that I'm approaching 10,000 miles on the 95 inch build you did for me. The engine runs exactly the same way today as it did when I left your shop after the post-build dyno tuning. It pulls hard EVERYWHERE, never runs hot, starts readily cold or warm, and idles correctly regardless of how aggressively I ride it. All of this is just as you said it would be -- a great breathing, high performing engine that is completely reliable. After riding the bike for nearly 10K miles, I've come to the conclusion that this is a perfect street engine, because of the combination of performance and reliability. The real kick for me is how much fun I have on the bike because I love snapping the throttle and feeling the same response every time from this rock solid engine.

Thanks again for your great work, and the integrity and customer focus you bring to the Southern California motorcycle community.

Geoff-

I wanted to take a moment to say thank-you to you and your CYCLEDOCTOR team. The conversations about performance upgrades have been fun and educating. It is very refreshing to see someone operating a business where integrity and ethics are the first priority… especially in the world of motorcycle mechanics. I have taken every opportunity to pass your name along while hearing guys complaining about not finding a good tuner in Southern California. I will you many years of success and hope your business continues to go.

Thank you again for your quality workmanship!

Hey Geoff,

Wanted to let you know how bitchin' my bike is running. You dialed it in just like I asked. Handles great, has more power, and best of all I look cool riding it. Thanks again brother for the great work.

Geoff,

Just had to email you and say what an incredible difference you made to the performance on my Hellion Chopper.... I never realized how underpowered the acceleration was until you 'Tuned" it correctly. The throttle response is instantaneous, no hesitation, all power right now...and right thru the power band in all gears.

Thanks for everything, I wouldn't hesitate to bring my bike to you for anything I need and would absolutely recommend you to anyone who is looking for and appreciates quality work.

Thanks again,
Glyn Nelson

Dr:

A follow up report on my 2005 FLHTI that you did the extensive remapping on: The bike has never run as good as it does now. There is virtually no popping on deceleration, no spark knock or pinging even in 100 degree ambient desert temperatures and mileage of 42 MPG.

Thank you,
Steve Large

Geoff:

I just want to thank you for all the great work you did on my Road King Classic. You delivered everything you promised. As you remember I wanted increased horsepower and torque. I did not want a radical hot rod but I wanted high performance. I wanted a bike that would work well around town and on long trips. I wanted power when I needed it and that is what I have.

My brother had his Road King Classic upgraded from 88 to 95 by a Harley dealer. They did a screaming eagle upgrade. They put a bigger cam in than you did for me and installed Thunder Headers with Harley's download for the fuel injection. It took "5 WEEKS". You coordinated things with me and your great staff and pre-ordered my parts. I dropped my bike off on a Tuesday and picked it up on Thursday. "3 Days" what a difference. I had other items handled at other times at your place, such as adding after market parts and I received same day turnaround. As far as performance, my bike has Vance & Hines Pipes versus my brother's Thunder Headers which are higher performance. He has a significantly upgraded cam versus what you gave me.

With all these advantages my brother's Harley dealer's upgrade had, my bike out performs his. The torque I have is greater and the horsepower is equal. My air fuel ratio print out on the dyno is almost a straight line. His has significant dips in it. If I put his pipes (Thunder Headers) on my bike, my horsepower would be even greater. He cannot pull away from me. When he gets on his bike, it takes little effort with my bike to stay with him or pass him.

As far as gas mileage, right after the rebuild the mileage wasn't that great, but after the break in period and your dyno tuning my mileage is even better than "stock". My bike is performing so well, my brother is going to bring his Road King in to have you put in a Power Commander III and dyno tune his bike.

It is obvious that your solution using the Johnson heads is far superior to Harley's Screaming Eagle solution. You truly are The Doctor in fact you are more than that you are a master surgeon. Taking an inefficient bike and converting it into a well breathing performance machine.

Again - thank you and your great staff,
Geoff Ewertz

As a proud owner of a 2002 Indian Spirit I can't relay the dismay I felt when I began to experience mechanical problems both great and small with new bike. Soon I became a frequent visitor back to the dealership where I purchased my bike. Being aware of the condition of my bike I was always greatly concerned of break downs when I was out on the road.

When Indian MC announced their quitting that's when the panic set in. With dealerships closing and more mechanics reluctant to work on Indians I was ready to throw in the towel.

A buddy of mine told me about the Cycledoctor. When I took my bike there not only did I find a guy more willing to help me, but here's a guy that's so knowledgeable you would think that he invented the Indian motorcycle. I could fill pages with the good experience I have had doing business with the Cycledoctor. I must note on more of a personal level. I can't tell you how much Geoffrey and his crew has helped me during times when my bike needed repair and my cash flow wasn't flowing too good.

To sum it up, my bike runs better than new and stops on a dime. The American Motorcycle Community needs more of the type of business the Cycledoctor is and more of the type of people that run it. Amen.

Sincerely,
Al Domoslai
