Iron Head Mechanic

[Maxlee]

I have a 74 XLCH.  Can anyone recommend an Iron Head Mechanic in the Queens NY area?  Or surrounding boroughs?

Thanks!

Hi.
I also have a 1974 (since new)
welcome to the site.

I am on other side of country so cant help on a good wrench.

BUT being 40 years old they aint rocket science.
get a manual, work on it your self. 
post pix and ask questions

Thanks for the advice but I still need a mechanic in the area if someone can recommend one.

Not in/near the NYC metro area at all, we are up by Oneida.
Built/rebuilt more of those than I can possibly remember.

Scott,

sorry, just kidding.

Maxlee, hillside is highly respected by people here.
and by me,  gave me some machining tips putting in compression releases in my iron heads.
don't know how far he is from you.  but I would bet you will be happy.

what work you need done?
tune up, a savvy indy can do.
any machine work.
well, see above comments.

scott contributes and help with tips.
