Need a mechanic recommendation

« on: October 10, 2023, 07:14:04 AM »

I have a 2000 Interstate and a 1999 Tourer.
The Interstate runs rough when compared to the Tourer.
I am trying to sell the Interstate and guy who says he is quite familiar with Valk's came and took it for a test ride around the block. He says it has a miss on the left side, runs OK at speed, but it happens while accelerating (especially compared to the Tourer)...so he kind of low balled an offer, which I didn't take.
Also, should note that the Interstate has the 6 individual exhaust pipes, the Tourer has factory exhaust.
Each bike has about 35,000 miles on it.

I still ride this bike and may not sell it so I would like to get it looked at and fixed. I can do a lot of things on the bike but carb's are not my thing. Can anyone recommend a Valk mechanic? I can take the bike pretty much anywhere between Illinois and New York (I drive a truck). Doesn't have to be a dealer, just someone who knows Valk's and can work on mine.
Thanks !

Here's a bump for your posting, I know there's gotta be someone but, I don't have a clue as to who that might be inside that area.
