See Richy at Richco motorsports turn off by the cow monument on Wulalai road. http://www.richcopowdercoating.com/

(Actually just said the same thing on an enquiry about powder coat painting.) If you look on the gallery you will see some of the customs he has built recently but of course depends what you require doing. Richy himself will be un available until the 11th.

Richie is a great guy but he will only work on Harley's. There is another good one on Moon Muong at the corner near Riders Club.

Have lunch at Rider's Club while you are waiting - pleasant atmosphere, good grub and reasonable prices.

Thats not quite true, he may not work on Japanese bikes but he will accept Euro bikes. My BMW for one!

Only work on Harley's? Not surprised, he wouldn't have timeto work on anything else. Now there's a good career move, Harley mechanic……..Never be out of work, what with the constant fixing and the owners wanting to bolt more and more…..and more tassels and shiny, heavy bits to them.

251-186 is the number for a German guy who has been working on big bikes in Chiang Mai for 25 years,, his address is is on Chiang Moi Soi 2 (at Thai Military Bank) Look for the motorcycle sign.

what brand and model and then we can give you the right advice

There seems to be 4 mechanic businesses that most of the farrangs use in Chiang Mai

1. Joe - Joe's big bike team (1/2 km east of thape gate)

2. Nat - Piston shop (1/2 south of the Tesco Lotus on SH)

3. Richie - Richco (Harley and custom chopper)

4. Tu - Near Rider's Corner , (NE corner of the moat)

Sure, there's more mechanics that are as good, be these guys all have a good track record . I've been hearing good things about SA motors too, they have the diagnostic and remapping software for KTM twins now.
