Brought my 2023 Lowrider S to CycleDoctor for a full build and tune. They spec'd everything: 128" S&S kit, TTS250 cam, Bassani RR3 2 into 1 exhaust, then dialed it in on the dyno. Results: 127.21 hp at 5,190 RPM and 146.86 ft-lbs at 3,520 RPM, with a flat torque curve from 2,500 to 4,500 RPM and AFR locked in at lambda 0.92. The numbers are great, but more importantly the bike rides exactly how you'd hope a built 128 should. Clean throttle response, strong pull everywhere in the powerband, no flat spots, no surging. The crew here knows Harleys inside and out. They picked the right combination of parts for what I wanted, explained the reasoning, and the result speaks for itself. If you're thinking about a build, let CycleDoctor handle it start to finish. Highly recommend. read more

Geoff is extremely thorough, incredibly straightforward and TRUSTWORTHY. Nothing can be more assuring that your bike will be in good hands with a shop than a detailed and CLEAR explanation to what's wrong with the bike, how it got that way and what the clear way forward is. Can't express enough gratitude to Geoff. read more

took my bike in today and had a really great experience. Jeff could've easily upsold me on a bigger repair, but instead he was completely honest about what was going on. He explained that the issue I was having is actually common with my bike and reassured me that there was no need to pull the entire engine part out, which saved me a lot of time and money. It's clear Jeff is extremely knowledgeable, especially when it comes to Harley-Davidson bikes. He took the time to explain everything in a way that made sense and didn't pressure me into anything unnecessary. I really appreciate the honesty and expertise. Highly recommend this shop if you want straightforward advice and someone who truly knows their stuff. read more

If you want the real truth- well here it is. Cycle Doctor is the ONLY place you will ever need for your bike. After looking around the internet at cycle shops, I had called some local parts shops, bike machine shops and mentioned that i wanted this bike to "wake up". A cam and the necessary parts, suspension, tune, a once over etc.. they recommended, hands down, Cycle Doctor. So, I was out with some fellas and we were talking about upgrading the bikes and they said " go to CYCLE DOCTOR and do what he recommends. We got ours done there. Long story short, had a great conversation with Geoff and told him i wanted the bike to wake up, suspension etc... I brought Geoff and team a 2017 Road King with 40K miles. A great bike but it needed "something". He knew exactly what needed to be done. He gave me a good honest price and a time expectation. I agreed and all i said is I am following your lead. End result - I will never sell this bike! Geoff is a Master in his field and has turned this factory bike into a torque monster with upgraded cam, suspension and exhaust. Power and torque is exceptional. She can pull for days! The Ohlins rear suspension and his custom work on the front end has put this bike on rails. An amazing head pipe was a great compliment to the package. I could not be any happier. All the work that Geoff and his team have done on this bike, the precision, the care and final product are 2nd to none. Absolute master craftsmen! They do everything from a tire change to custom fabricated parts and everything in between. The search is over- Go to Cycle Doctor and get the very best done for your bike. Geoff, Just wanted to tell you since i got the bike back from your shop i have been taking it to work and i have never eaten so many bugs from the childlike smile and laughter on my face as i crack the throttle - every flippin' time! Thank you brother- absolute amazing experience! Theodore S. read more

Went to Geoff for a custom paint job and he found some issues with the bike that needed some fixing, him and his guys are very knowledgeable and have no problem explaining things to the customer. Now granted it turned into costing a little more than I initially anticipated but hey I now have a bike that runs great and looks fantastic. He takes pride in his work and won't return a bike he thinks isn't safe or ready, thanks for really transforming my bike! read more

First, I searched for and called all of the motorcycle shops in OC to compare the parts and labor for my HD Bobber, and CycleDoctor was the most reasonably priced. Second, Tom, Geoff, Brandon, and Madalin were very friendly, prompt, informative, professional, and really care about their customers' needs and safety. They are true motorcycle doctors with American spirit!! read more

The Cycledoctor team is amazing, every time i take my bike to them they are extremely thorough and quick! Geoff takes the initiative and has great communication with his clients. Geoff is also very personable and makes me feel comfortable every visit, I've never felt pressured with any of my visits to the shop. From Dyno Tunes to simple service request's Cycle Doctor is the answer. Extremely satisfied, and want to say thank you to the Cycle Doctor team! read more

Geoff and his team have been maintaining my '99 FXDX for nearly 25 years and I have been extremely pleased. Consistently diligent , quality work, and good value. Recent service has the bike running super and looking great. read more

My husband took his motorcycle to Cycledoctor multiple times over the course of six months, spending a ridiculous amount of money, yet the bike is still inoperable. It's been incredibly frustrating watching him want to ride his motorcycle, only to have it constantly out of commission despite all the supposed "repairs." I'm beyond disappointed in the lack of honesty and professionalism here. If you can't properly fix a motorcycle, you shouldn't be charging people as if you can. This experience has been nothing but a waste of time, money, and trust. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who actually wants their bike fixed. read more

Arrogant, and Boastful. NEVER again will I bring my bike back here again. Random BS charges, can't meet deadlines, and quite frankly not so helpful. Even after doing a lot of the work myself I kept seeing stupid additional fees. I didn't know a simple 5 minute job costs an additional 150 for the hour. Appointments? I guess not necessary since even after leaving a deposit to reserve a spot, the bike wasn't taken care of promptly. To think that I was recommending people to this shop, I was wrong. Kept calling me a gangster just because of the look of the bike, very disrespectful. On top of it all, parts were loose and bike still runs like crap so I guess it'll have to go to a different shop since he won't fix his mistake and the time taken to fix his mess up's takes time so now it'll have to once again come out of my time and money. read more

First and foremost. Thank you. Waited 3 weeks before i wrote a honest review, just to test the bike to see how it runs and all. Requested a service/dyno tune to be exact thru online, filled up the form, Geoff called me the next day, telling what services i needed. We set up an appointment day, dropped off the bike, Geoff is super friendly and he knows motorcycle. he toured me inside the shop, and wife is super nice as well. after a week got a call back, bike was ready. Tuned an all. Picked up the bike, first thing I noticed is it wasnt stalling anymore. I installed S&S cam and geoff dynod mt bike perfectly. So far it runs powerfull, full of torque. And runs wat better. Overall satisfied with the service. Highly recommend to anyone who wants there bike's serviced. read more

Geoff knows his stuff. Can he be a little gruff or cranky sometimes? Yes. But you're riding a Harley, not driving a Prius so put on your big boy pants and sack up. He obsesses over motorcycles and how to get the best out of your bike. Email him for an appointment since he's wrenching all day and doesn't always have time to shoot the breeze. Do your bike a favor and get it done right the first time. Take it to Cycle Doctor Ur welcome read more

Geoff is the absolute best in the business. Hands down. Online research and a referral from someone else in the business led me to him. I needed a break in and tune done on my Dyna with an S&S124 and I couldn't be more pleased with my experience. He explained every part of the process so I could understand, educated me on his methods and left no question unanswered. He is also a super cool dude! I felt privileged to be his customer. If you need anything done to your Harley, go to Cycledoctor!!! read more

My bike was overheating and also having a noise starting. I have a 110 stage 5 kit on my 2010 Roadking. It was dynoed at HD with a SE Tuner (From SE HD Pro). Took it if expecting major engine issues! Geoff helped to resolve the issues and has a lot of knowledge on how to tune it correctly. Engine did not need any repairs just to be tuned correctly! Geoff also discovered the noise in my primary which is a component which has a track record of failure. Net-net now my bike as a better oil cooler, new tune with 10% more power and a new heavy duty primary compensator and adjuster! Thank's to cycle doctor and Geoff for solving the issues and working with me on the better solutions for my bike! read more

Was sent to this shop by a Verizon wireless representative lol. The dude had a mean looking bike and said Cycledoctor is only place to go. He was right. My street bob rips now thanks to Geoff and his team. Highly recommended! read more

Geoff is one of those guys...the honest truthful ones that tell you like it is. He is trustworthy and the best around at his craft. It's no wonder Harley owners come from great distance to have Geoff tune their bikes. He has done a variety of upgrades and repairs on my bikes a 1996 custom heritage and a 2016 street glide special. On the special he installed fox racing rear shocks and rebuilt the fronts forks. Along with the new Kraus bar set up my bike is unbelievable. It corners and tracks on turns like a sport bike while on a touring cruiser. My bike is totally dialed in as he said it would be. If you are looking for advice or having work done, trust Geoff. Also, "it's not his shop, it's Gods Geoff just runs it for Him". Best sign I've ever seen at a business! read more

This is the shop you can trust. I say this because I worked there as tech. Geoff is a straight up good God loving person. Before working for Cycle Doctor I worked for Orange County Harly Davidson - Cycle City when Hesh owned it- Huntington Beach Hogs n Choppers also 3 years. So its like this- I been around a lot of so cal shops working as mechanic,and the best was Cycle Doctor run by Geoff in Costa mesa. read more

Long rambling excuses about the age of the bike ect are the product you will get here at Cycle doctor. Bottom line. Dropped a clean bike off that was leaking, with the Speedo and tach working. Paid over 4k and got back a filthy bike still leaking with both the Speedo and tach not working. This shop is looking for idiots to service. Will attempt it myself next time and not contribute to any more $ to this scam, pretending to be a doctor of repairing Harleys read more

Took my 2019 ROAD KING special 114ci to Geoff twice. There are limited office skills an talk is short. But as for the mechanical aspects he is on another level a REAL GURU. I wanted something for my bike an he set me straight. He did the work now my bike is SCREAMING FAST you can be faster too. Thank you read more

If you have a bike and need repairs go see Geoff, he is an amazing wrench. He cared for my bike as much as I do. Brought my bike to HB dealership but they wouldn't touch my bike with only 7K miles, so I called around , checked yelp reviews and Cycledoctor had great reviews - so I made an appointment got my fatboy in the next day. Geoff and his team went above and beyond fixing things I didn't even know was broke. Prices are fair and reasonable. Didn't even charge me for some things like a new air filter I am so stoked to find a great shop and they will be the only team to touch my ride. So if you live in Orange County avoid the dealerships and take your baby to go see Geoff he'll take care of both you and your bike If I could give him more stars I would read more

I had been looking for a bike mechanic i could trust for years, then i found the Doctor. He and his team have been awesome. From tire replacements to electrical issues. Always fair and always done when he says it will be done. I just had Geoff put cams and master tune my bike......holy hell my 2013 Ultra Classic is Quick. Happier than a pig in %$#! Thanks Geoff, You are My Harley Doctor read more

Where do I start...This isn't the shop that's going to fit you in on a days notice. Like everyone else, I've heard the stories... here's mine. That being said when it was my time for tune appointment on my 103 to 110ci conversion. Geoff met me at the shop, felt he was genuinely concerned with my needs short conversation and I was on my way. Magic is real!!!!! When I pickup my bike. There wasn't much small talk but more of a grin on his face he made magic happen again. Didn't ask for payment and told me to go ride it. Holy shit the bike ran amazingly well. The pinging and barking were all gone. Bike easily ran up to 90 effortlessly. Bike felt like she wanted to run and not be forced to excel if that makes any sense....worth every penny!!!! Thank you Geoff!!!! This guy can fix your shit!!!! read more

Well two years later after enjoying my 2016 RG stage iv HD came out with the New 2018 CVO RG that I had to have, so this time we tried to utilize what it came with which was a 117ci motor, we added the VN power dual and took it to Geoff at Cycle Doctor , once again he did his magic with the TTS master tuner and we got 120 ft lbs of torque , from 2,000-4,800 rpms she pulls real strong, it revs thru 6,000 rpms ( not really making massive power at that point) but enough to pin the speedometer in 5 th gear! 6 th gear still pulls too. Geoff at Cycle Doctor is a Genius! I trust him with my $40k bike and highly recommend, 5 stars! If you're looking for a Specialist in Harley Davidson tuning you should talk to Geoff at Cycle Doctor in Costa Mesa, CA. I had a Stage IV kit installed be Pomona Valley HD in my 2016 RG the HD catalog shows a dyno chart with this kit claiming you can expect 100 ft. Lbs of TQ and close to 95 HP. Colby from PVHD recommended I use the TTS Master Tuner and have Geoff ( owner ) at Cycle Doctor dial the bike in. I would give 15 stars if I could, After Cycle Doctor dialed the TTS Master tuner in , my RG charted 116 tq and 117 hp!! Thanks to Cycle Doctor I am now the proud owner of a 117 hp Beast!

I have used CycleDoctor on several occasions. Most recently I had my 1999 Road King Classic towed there as a result of not starting. They diagnosed it as having a bad fuel pump/filter due to clogging. They replaced both items. I left on a 2,000 mile ride just a few days later. The bike performed flawlessly. Shout out to the CycleDoctor! I will continue to use them! Rory read more

I rarely, if ever, write reviews but had such a positive experience at CycleDoctor that I needed to share this with anyone looking for a highly knowledgeable, honest and thorough Harley Davidson shop. Geoff and his team are excellent mechanics, who really take the time to diagnose and treat any issues that may be happening with your bike. Personally, I didn't realize how "sick" my Dyna was until I got it back today. I received an in-depth dyno tune, larger fuel injectors, a new fuel pump, a fuel regulator, a new security system, as well as a general service. To make a long story short, I feel as if I own a completely different motorcycle. The thing rips! I would highly suggest that anyone who owns a Harley Davidson and is reading this, to go see the guys at CycleDoctor! You will be in great hands! read more

Don't bother going here the guy acts like he can fix anything not really. Not very helpful and Big attitude to go with it hard to deal with if you like rattlesnakes better off going somewhere else like mach one better off this guy still charge you alot money for poor workmanship and alot of bullshit oh he is good at that.Cycle quack read more

He's straight to the point makes sure to call you along the progress to help choose the best option for you, definitely worth the wait!

Probably the best motorcycle mechanic in the OC. Geoff is honest and straightforward, which is a rarity with Harley shops. He gets right to the point and doesn't try to upsell you with anything that isn't totally necessary, and had good recommendations for future work on my bike. I brought him my 2008 FXDI SuperGlide, which had a snapped pulley bolt which had ripped through the wheel. So I needed a new wheel, but problem is they don't make the SuperGlide Vader wheel anymore, and anyone who knows 06-10 FXD's, you know the rear wheel size makes finding a matching wheel very difficult. Geoff went out on his own time and found me a new wheel that fits! And for a great price. He did top notch work, and even gave me a few hours of deee labor cuz he didn't want the price he quoted me in the beginning to be far off from the final price. Almost couldn't believe what I was hearing, a Harley shop not over charging me?!! Unheard of! My bike is fixed, rideable, and safe, thanks for Geoff and his hard work. Definitely recommend to go here for any of your motorcycle needs. read more

Geoff and his staff really know what they're doing with a Harley. I bought a used '98 Road King (FLHRCI) with 56,000 miles on it up in Nor Cal that was in rough shape and had Geoff go through it top to bottom. He identified the work that needed to be done right away and let me know what we could postpone. Motor mounts, fix a front wheel spacer problem, throttle cables, new pipes and baffles, make it a true dual exhaust, power commander and dyno-tune, new rear tire, full fluid change. Geoff got it safe, tuned, and running beautifully, never keeping it in the shop for more than a couple days at a time. I just returned from a perfect 2,500 mile trip through the Colorado Rockies and back and the bike never missed a beat. The dyno tune Geoff put on it kept it purring over the 500 miles a day through 115° heat, 38° cold, wicked mountain passes, and long desert interstates. I couldn't believe it was the same bike I had limped down from Santa Cruz a few months earlier. Integrity seems hard to come by these days, Geoff and his crew have it in spades. They do great work the first time and go the extra mile to ensure that everything is safe and solid before they'll let the bike leave the shop. He always let me know exactly where they were with the repairs and always did precisely what he said he would, including getting it back to me when he promised. read more
