Are you looking for a quality Valk mechanic?

I asked for referrals in the Phoenix area on the AZ Chapter a few weeks ago for someone who could work on my 99 Valk, and was given several excellent referrals for BigBF.com. I subsequently had BigBF rebuild the carburetors and while the carbs were off, install an electric shutoff for the gas to prevent hydrolock.
He did the work on time and within the budget, keeping me informed of progress, even sending pics of work being done. This is the first major work I have had done on my bike, and I have to tell you, it runs better than it ever has, since I purchased it new in 2000. When I picked the bike up, and had a chance to open her up, it felt like it had 30% more power, running incredibly smooth. I still can't wipe the smile off my face!
If you are looking for a mechanic who knows the Valk inside and out, he is the man! He is in the Phoenix area, but it is my understanding, he will be going on the road this summer working on Valks.
If you have a chance to have him work on your Valk, I am certain your experience will be as outstanding as mine!

He's been at the last 4 Inzanes I attended. He'll most likely be at I-16. RIDE SAFE.

BigBf is NOT a well kept secret. He's been one of our family here for a long, long time. And he IS a great Valk mechanic. We have more than a few able bodies on the VRCC that can do wonders with a Valk.
But appreciate the shout out to Bill.

BF works tirelessly from morning through night so that the rest of us at the Inzanes can ride off and have fun. He is a very giving person to say the least. Hats off to the man!

Yep! Big BF knows the Valkyries inside and out.
Great mechanic and an even greater guy!

Finally! We agree on something.
Bill is cherished part of our little group. Wish we could clone him.
