These guys are awesome, had some work I needed done to help me get my Harley dialed in. These guys were knowledgeable, approachable, and I left there feeling like I got new motorcycle! I'd for sure go back to get more work done by them! read more

Was searching for a shop that could Dyno Tune my bike. The bike came to me with pretty high miles and significant wear and tare. Replaced and upgraded a bunch of parts and components myself. I'm fairly decent with a wrench, but I wanted to take the bike to a shop that really knows the nuances of these machines. This was the place hands down. Bike runs incredibly smooth.. read more

Expert Dyno tuning. Hard to find the service in Northern California and thankfully, they're here.

I came to this shop specifically to have my bike dyno tuned. I normally go to the likes of Slabsides (Campbell) or other south bay shops, but RC Cycles has a good rep for dyno-tuning Harleys. They have two daily time slots at around 11 and 1pm to tune your bike. They are fairly booked in this regard so I had to book about 3/4 weeks in advance. I received a call the day before my appointment to remind me of the appointment AND to have a full tank of gas and to bring my power vision. The only negative was I had an appointment at 11, but I had to wait 30/40min since Bob was stuck in traffic coming down. Once I met Bob, things were off to a good start. He asked me some questions on how I felt the bike was running, any issues, mods, then proceeded to ride my bike around. Then boom onto the dyno and getting it tuned. I sat in the room the entire time as I surfed the web on my phone while watching him do his magic. He explained to me how the ion knock sensors work on the Harley, and how he'll tune the bike. He did a few runs at various loads to get the VE maps setup properly for everyday riding, then he went into it for full throttle runs. I was able to get more power out of my bike from the over the counter tune that FuelMoto gave me, but overall the bike ran much much smoother. I would say it took him a solid 2+ hours to get my bike tuned. I have the target tune on my bike so I'll proceed further to get it a tad smoother for everyday riding, but overall I'm impressed with my jump in HP and Torque. Note that my bike bone stock makes about 82HP, 102TQ. Stage 1 about 90HP 110TQ. And with my cam I'm at 109HP, 122TQ so +27HP and +20TQ. Note that I am reviewing purely on the dyno services. I've not come here for regular service or other customize or mechanical work. read more

My motorcycle was having what appeared to be a short circuit issue in the ignition or fuel. I brought it to Harley Davidson dealer in the South Bay, assuming that their claimed factory trained technicians could fix the issue. they charge me two hours diagnosis they claimed to test rode the bike. They returned it to me, and charge me for two hours and said there's nothing wrong with it. Leaving the dealership the issue reoccured 25 + time in 19 miles. I brought the bike to Ron at Rc cycles they diagnosed the issue quickly and repaired my bike. The issue was the crank position sensor failed and #one cylinder injector wire was shorting out. My bike now runs great! I'm happy" I would recommend the shop highly before any dealership. read more

This place knows how to dyno tune and was able to get my 2020 Road Glide with a stage 2 running like a race horse.

First time coming to this superb shop. Came here to get my street glide Dyno tuned and the experience is fantastic. I rode straight to the back without knowing and checking where the front door is at, but Ron called me to see where I am at 5 minutes before my appointment time, and Bob came right away to meet me. Learned a few things from Bob and explained in details about my bike after the Dyno tuning. This people are the best to deal with and they won't disappoint you. This is far from I expected. I am picky on where I should have my bike serviced but I will come back again no matter what to this extravagant place with this outstanding people. read more

They worked on my bike, got everything I needed taken care of in a fast quality way. And answered all my question regarding every topic I had. read more

Took my 2009 Road King in for a Dynotune. I thought it ran great before taking it in and mainly wanted to find out my HP and Torque numbers. What I found out was Bob was able to squeeze out 12 more ft lbs of Torque and 8 more horsepower while smoothing out the Torque Curve. Not only are the Dyno numbers awesome but the ride afterwards felt like a bike that just had a big bore installed. Bob got my 96" Stock Bore Twin Cam up to 108.5 TQ and 96.12 HP. I have Andrews 48H Cams and a Jackpot 2:1 exhaust and can crush a Stage 1 Rushmore 103. Highly Recommend RC Cycles and Bob for your V-Twin tuning needs! read more

RC Cycles staff are very helpful with getting your right parts to do the right job and get the best performance from your motorcycle. Very informative. Their knowledge is greatly appreciated. read more

I was referred here by a friend who's a Harley Davidson fanatic. I purchased some cams for my 2015 street bob because I wanted more torque. I called RC Cycles and spoke to Bob because I wanted a quote on how much the labor was going cost. The pricing was very reasonable. Two days later, they gave me a call and told me my bike was ready. Bob the dyno guy was able to squeeze out 94hp and 114/ft pounds of torque! I originally had a Power Commander V, but he suggested the TTS Mastertune because there are a lot more adjustments that can be made. I was a little hesitant at first because the tuner was a bit pricey, but I'm glad I made the purchase. I'm extremely satisfied with the out come. My bike hauls ass! read more

Took my bike here been told this place was the best ! As he was doing my bike I was told more then 10 times I was wasting their time ..... I paid $ 1284.74 to be told I'm wasting your time ? I will never recommend this place ..place sucks read more

These guys were recommended to me from several other motorcycle shops in the bay area, mainly for the Dyno-Tuning that I needed to get on my 2006 Road Glide. It was a bit of a trek to get there as I live pretty far away; however, it was well worth the travel time... These guys are as professional as professional gets! They are very knowledgeable and they have great customer service. They were able to solve issues that other shops couldn't in half the time and cost. Needless to say I would highly recommend RC Cycles to anyone in need of Dyno-Tuning (I would guess that all their other services are great too, but I cannot speak to that) read more

The Dino tune technician really got my bike running hella good I got more power his is awesome

RC cycles is definitely the place to bring your bike. Had my bike worked on there and could not believe the service they provided. Drop my bike off on the Thursday and got it back on a Monday from a complete motor upgrade. Ready to go . I love the no-nonsense attitude of the shop. None of that Harley bullshit. Attitude like you're disturbing them and I'll call you when it's ready. This is the way a shop should be run. I will not take my bike anywhere else. Definitely give them a try highly recommend them. read more

Ron and the whole crew at R/C is the best in the business. They have worked on multiple bikes I had and always honest and stand by there work. I would never go anywhere else. read more

Ron and Walt and their mechanics have made me feel totally welcome over the years,and they both are just great guys, but more importantly they have been keeping my '97 Sportster in top shape for the past 20 some odd years. IMO, far better service than any dealer, at better prices. I just got a new back tire and my yearly full service and Bob and the other mechanics had it waiting for me in tip top shape. As others have posted I would just never go any place else. My ride is my life and I trust that to Ron, Walt and the rest of the RC Cycle staff. Thanks guys!!! read more

Did some research around the local area and found RC Cycles to be an awesome motorcycle repair shop. First, they gave me a great quote compared to other shops. Second, the turn around time was quick. Lastly, it turned out better than I expected. Service is great and I would highly recommend this business. I will be coming for more of my maintenance needs and repairs. Thanks again RC Cycles for your great service. read more

Walked in on inquiring on some aftermarket fairings and the man behind the counter [Walter] was very helpful. He also educated me on upgrades suspensions that willl come in handy at higher speeds. First impression is that these guys are a performance shop for Harleys. I inquired on getting the first 1000 mile service completed and was reassured by Walter that they conduct the same dealer service that I would get at my local HD dealer at a fraction of the cost. I scheduled my next day appointment on the spot. The folks at RC cycles completed my initial service all in the same day with a 9:30AM drop off and was able to pick up my bike a little after 4. I received all the needed documentation to enter and log into my maintenance journal. I will be recommending this shop to my family and will be returning back for either some upgrades, dyno test or my next service. This shop is presentable, professional and has good customer service skills. Thanks guys read more

The crew at RC cycles is by far the best shop I've ever been to. Took in my 06' fxd and my brothers 01' fxdl a couple weeks ago to see bob and get both bike tuned on the dyno. Brought both bikes over in the trailer. After unloading noticed my battery was dead and there was no gas in my bike the crew hooked me up with setting my bike up to charge and letting me use they're gas can to go fuel up. When it got time to put both bikes on the dyno bob hooked it up getting them tuned right getting the most hp/tq out of both bikes. These guys know Whatsup and will treat you right!!! read more

Cant even reply to a simple email, gets zero business from me. No customer service from the gate = no business from me...

Took my roadking to Ron at RC Cycles in Hayward, who SUPPOSEDLY replaced the ECM with a NEW one, I paid took it home where I had a buyer waiting and who test rode, only to find out the power commander was burnt out and Ron failed to tell me before sending it home with me! Took it back got the PC put on for an additional ($300), met buyer at RC to complete the transaction only to find a new oil leak! The buyer took it in to Dudley Perkins because it was running bad and was told the "NEW ECM" I'd just had done needs to be replaced ($675) and the oil leak was actually coming from the stator ($600) total plus tow $1325 to correct a problem that never should have been! I wouldn't recommend this money trap to any rider who even needs an oil change! Worst part is once upon a time they were a decent shop! Talked to a few others and heard similar stories! Avoid at ALL CO$T!!! read more

I had a Vance And Hines Power Duals Exhaust System installed on my 2010 Harley Davidson Road King and they did a fantastic job for a very reasonable price. Ron was very helpful and honest and the tech Matthew who installed it was very knowledgeable. I was very happy with the work they did. If you need any kind of work done on your motorcycle I would definitely give them call I know I will. read more

I've been taking my Harley motorcycles to RC Cycles for service for quite a few years and the service and expertise there has always been top shelf. What's also been a nice plus is the fact that the owner, Ron Cairns, and his staff are always willing to take time out to personally discuss your issue or interest. They are very knowledgeable and their experience shows in the quality of the company's workmanship and, importantly, its ability to deliver on time. I'm very pleased being his customer and can highly recommend RC Cycles to anyone with a Harley Davidson. It is well worth a visit. read more

I've personally have had nothing short of a great experience using this shop for my last three Harley's Ron has always been straight foreword about any issues and with helpful ideas on my builds , Walter and Gil have been helpful as well . Dino Bob well the mans a master tuner has always made my sleds run at top performance levels read more

Took my Dyna there to get tires. Got a quote for Metzeller 880s. Picked up the bike, It had Dunlops on it. Gave me a small credit. I took it because I needed the bike back. If they can't even put the right tires on it, they won't see it in their shop again. Too bad, there aren't many reliable shops around. And RC isn't reliable anymore either. read more

I'm not a wrencher, so I have been taking my bike here for a couple years now. I am always satisfied with the work they do for me. I've had them swap out a new set of pipes for me & they're the ones I go to for routine maintenance giving me the confidence I need when I'm out there on the road. I'm always treated with respect & don't feel like they're trying to get over on me 'cause I'm a female. read more

I had RC add an intake exhaust and dyno my 2013 Road Glide and everything was done perfect. After the work was completed I saw an Increase of 9 hp and 11 tp. Bob even stayed late to finish the job. I will definitely be going back at some point in the future. read more
