Looking for a motorcycle mechanic for my xs1100 mns

In Ohio and looking for a trustworthy motorcycle mechanic to work on my 1980 xs11 mns. Wanting to get back on the road again🏍

No offense intended, but if you're going to ride a 40 year old bike you should know how to fix it because none of the new computerised, fuel injected bike techs these days have a clue about these bikes. Just sayin'.

I hear ya loud and clear, that's exactly why I'm in need of a mechanic who works specifically on my bike, if I could I would, but I can't so I ain't. I'm not exactly mechanically inclined and know my limitations.

Just curious...What Kind of problems are you having with it? Some guys may be better suited to work on carbs or engines or electrical problems.

Transmission issues, the trans was slipping, will not go out of 1st gear, need the trans removed, undercut and replaced is my understanding

was it sounding like a machine gun? If it is stuck in first, may be behind the cover on the shifter side. The star plate is known to problems.

When I was able to shift to 2nd there's a definite jumping and or extreme vibration of the 2nd gear. I then have to put it immediately into 3rd. This just started after I had flatslide carbs installed. Not sure if the carbs have any thing to do with it. Its almost like it has too much power or torque.

There are plenty of people on here that have done your type of repair, hopefully someone near you will take it on. A shop would charge a small fortune and may not even do it correctly.
