Looking for a good shop in the Midwest

SJUBS · 04-25-2006, 1:13 PM

Does anyone know of a good shop in the Midwest that can repair a 929 tranny. I live in Wichita, Kansas but would be willing to travel Oklahome or Kansas City to get this thing fixed correctly.

I have a buddy in Wichita who also races. I'll ask and get back to you.

Motorsports on K15. The owner, Bob Troxell, is a good guy. I deal with them on a regular basis.

You could also send it to Fast By Gast and have it hardened and undercut. I sent mine to them little over a year ago...$250 plus $35 (I think) each gear they have to reqair. Repaired 2 of mine and I was very impressed with their work. Been racing on it since with no slips at all.

Thats a good one because it is slim pickings around here. In the thread, somebody mentioned Motorsports. Bob Troxell(owner) is a decent guy, but the service department is a joke. Mid America Powersports will be high, but they have a tech (Jeremy) that is one of the best around, and they are probably the only safe bet in Wichita. If he is serious about traveling, Kinetic Playground in Tulsa is a great shop.

Your friend is probably right. I don't use Motorsports service dept. since I do all my own work. However, I will NEVER deal with Mid America Powersports due to the lack of KY jelly used in their transactions. K&N + Nichols = Mid America and too many bad experiences for me and my friends from all players at the "new" company. The new Mid America store looks nice, but I think their customers will be paying for all that square footage for a long time.

Actually i bought all my bikes through powersports. They were much cheaper than motorsports, gave me more for my trade and took less for the new bike. I was at troxell's a little while back and they had a 06 600rr and a 05 600rr sitting next to each other and they were the same price. Right next to them was a new 04 RC hayden rep for 11,200, plus you need a shoe horn to sit on any bike due to the lack of space. On the other hand i buy all of my parts from motorsports due to the fact the either use none or less of a price matrix on all parts.
