Hi,

Does anyone know of a good Enfield mechanic in the southwest - e.g. Bath/Bristol/Chippenham areas?

Gears on my 2008 Indian 350 need some serious attention ... see http://www.hitchcocksmotorcycles.com/vi ... orumorder=

Thanks,
Andy

Mechanics are a bit like Gynaecologists - they're all more than willing to take a quick look... but recommending one can sometimes be difficult .
Have you spoken to www.pricepartmotorcycles.co.uk yet? They're in the South West

Andy.. it would appear that you are about to become the best Enfield mechanic in the area.. Get a workshop manual and a few tools..


Good luck...

Going by the number of british bikes in their workshop Hayballs in Salisbury seem competent, maybe a bit far afield though.

+ 1 for Hayballs although they've only recently (last 2 or 3 years) been Enfield dealers. I've bought a couple of bikes of them and had the odd service in the past, honest, friendly family owned business but not sure how 'expert' their mechanics are on Ennies yet

Trev - Hayballs have been around since time immoral, est 1925. They may only be recent RE dealers but they've been spannering bikes since the 60s. They even have a little museum. I bought my bike from them and had 1st service done there. Whilst I do most servicing myself, I wouldn't hesitate to take the bike back there. There are some things like gear boxes I don't like doing because let's face it, I've only ever opened a gear box a few times and I lack experience inside the box of cogs.

Henry Price, Rockhampton, Thornbury 01454 261798. I have found him to be the best Enfield McCanic in the business
