                NO I do not know of a frame straightening company  near Jersey although I'd suggest a call to a place like Indian Larry's old shop in NYC which I believe has been renamed Indian Larry Legend. I'm sure that either they would straighten frames themselves or they have someone they use since they specialize in old iron frame motorcycles as well as newer tubular frame replicas. Just my $0.02

             See if directory assistance has a number listed for Doc John's Frame Straightening in the LA area. I'd have recommend him if I'd had known headpan was willing to ship.

I actually know of this shop.  Old timer.  Perfect work.  It's up in Orange County though; in Anaheim.  It's close to 91 and Tustin.  If you can't find it let me know as I know I've got the number and address around here somewhere.

He prefers iron frames. Did a late model bagger frame for a buddy of mine that was dead on, but swore he wouldn't work on another one. ( I heard he still does, and still rags about every one of em  ;D )

Last I heard also still swore off lasers and other electronic measuring systems of any kind too.  All jigs and tables. Somehow that just feels right too  :coolblue: .

Hey HP, your picture's gone! That bike came out really nice. Yeah, I'm in NYC, Queens. If I can get my @ss to get my Pro Street VIN'd, we could have some fun with them 2 Pro Streets! My '85 Wide Glide keeps up pretty good though. When the weather comes back to us, we'll get together. Look forward to meeting you! Hoist! 8)
