I only hope the owners can see this. On Friday, July 11th, I managed to tip my 1974 Honda 550 on a…read moresloped parking lot, It broke the clutch lever, and we were miles from anywhere. Besides, who is going to have a clutch lever for a 50 year old motorcycle? Well, we called Arkport Cycles and they said they had a universal lever. When we got there, they had it waiting on the counter, all set to install. But of course it was not universal to the connections of 50 years ago, and I thought I was stranded 100 miles from home and my family road trip was ruined. That is where Traci, Ashley, and Jake stepped in. After trying several options and not finding a fit, Ashley mentioned that she had her own parts bike and may have one more lever to try. Well, with Jake giving guidance and having the full attention of both Traci and Ashley, against all odds the lever was a perfect fit and we were able to continue a very important ride. I have been riding for 60 years and have visited many motorcycle shops. There is not another one anywhere that would invest the time and empathy that these 3 people did. Despite being quite busy they never gave up, and I can never thank them enough. I highly, highly recommend this business

If you happen to find yourself broken down in bumfuck nowhere on your motorcycle, you're better off…read morewheeling yourself over to a local and asking them if they know anything about bikes than going here. They are scammers and don't care at all about whether or not your bike actually runs before sending you out the door, and will come up with the most ridiculous excuses on top of it. After spending 11.5 hours (allegedly) and $900, we still ended up with a bike that didn't run more than 10 minutes at a time. The supposedly brand new battery didn't hold a charge after running for over an hour. After FINALLY getting it back to Rochester and taking it apart myself, I'm even more sure these guys didn't even open this bike up. The gasket is still the original one on there from the 70's, which is listed on the invoice as "things they fixed". The invoice quotes an hour to change the oil. It doesn't even take an hour for me to change the oil in my car and I'm not a "professional" mechanic, let alone a bike a fraction of the size and volume. They clearly have no clue how to do anything with the fuel line because there was visible air and particles in it from the get go until I flushed it myself. Their excuse? I needed to FLUSH MY OWN FUEL TANK A COUPLE TIMES after they put tank liner in it. They did absolutely none of the work, just sprayed some starter fluid into the exhaust, kicked it up, and threw it out the door. On top of that, despite calling several times looking for a refund, they tell me that it's because my bike is old and it sat for the winter and they wouldn't consider a refund because "the work had been done." Not that they would actually ask the mechanic. They'll just look at what was quoted on the computer and call it. Don't waste your time on these small town, inexperienced, con artists. They have no accountability and can only speak to "what the invoice says in front of them." They make excuse after excuse, blaming their failings on employees they already fired. And if you take the time to explore their collection of antique and vintage bikes upstairs, do so with the knowledge that they acquired those bikes by overcharging their client so much that they couldn't afford to fix it. Or they flat out lied to them and told them that their bikes were "beyond fixable because they're old."
