Well seeing that nobody has chimed in, I would say your best bet is probably Gary Small. I just go my 900 back form a 6 year hiatus, so I can’t say how they are now but over all they did good work for me for about a decade. I will caution you though, they basically f-ed the motor in my car. I paid them to replace my head gasket and do a high performance top end rebuild. When I got the car back, off the bat it would run rough intermittently. I took it back to them twice to investigate. They told me that it seemed fine to them and to keep driving till it got worse. When it got to doing it consistently (1200 miles), I brought it back to them. They said my motor was corned... it had low compression and had coolant in the oil. They said it would need a complete tare down. When I asked them WTF, they basically said that it is my problem and that I would be looking at paying them to rebuild the entire motor, bottom end bearings and all. I suspect it was a botched head gasket job or the head was cracked and they missed it when it was sent out to be magnafuxed. Whatever the reason, I don’t think it suddenly materialize in the first 100 miles on driving.
I was so pissed, I gave the car to a friend and said drive it into the ground...that was 6 years ago.
