Recently went to Myrtle Beach Performance to have some upgrades done on my 1987 FXR. Maiko, who is the owner, fixed everything I asked him to fix and found a lot of problems that I was not even aware of. He explained every detail of the problem and how he would correct them. His work is outstandingly in every way. He has the knowledge, skills and experience not only to correct existing problems but to head off future problems by spotting and correcting prior work that was performed by other shops (all of them are out of business now) that did substandard work. I've had my FXR since 1988, I bought it when it was 1 year old. Myrtle Beach Performance is the only shop that I will bring my bike to. They have my highest recommendation. read more

I've been using Meiko since the '90s. He does excellent work and he's the only one in his shop....no rookies like the Harley store. He not only finds and fixes your problem, he explains what caused it and how to prevent a recurrence. He's done custom work on 3 of my bikes and I've been pleased with all of it. read more

Have had my 2004 Big Dog chopper in 3 different shops in last 3 years and still not running right. Put a lot of money into it. One shop had it for almost 18 months. Took it to Myrtle Beach Performance and by the time I got home Maiko was calling me to tell me all the things wrong with it, including that it didn't have air compression release valves on it. Someone had removed them and plugged it up. Within 2 weeks he had all parts in and bike fixed. He did some extras and fixed the carburetor, put an oil light and neutral light on it. It runs awesome and no longer eating up batteries. The man's knowledge and ability to diagnose problems is amazing. Wish I had known about him 3 years ago. I would have saved a lot of money and been riding my bike instead of it sitting in some bike shop. Backstory: I met him at the Dairy Queen on 17 business in Surfside Beach. He had on his business shirt and I asked him about it. We got to talking and my Big Dog was in the parking lot. I'd just gotten it out of another shop. I mentioned it to him snd he wanted to see it. We went out and the screws had fallen out of the ignition cover. He said follow me to my shop snd I'll fix it. It was 8:30 at night. We followed him and he fixed the bike and wouldn't take a penny for his time. Within no time it burnt up a battery and I called him. All I can say is don't hesitate to take your bike to him. He's a world champion bike racer and he's a world champion at fixing bikes. read more
