Default Good shops in my new area?

Hey folks,

I finnaly moved and got that over with and am now located in Lakewood near long beach and cerritos.

now that i'm in a new area I don't know of any good reputable shops in this area. Mainly a place where I can get Suzuki parts and get my tires changed at a decent price.

Anyone have any recomendations of shops in the area of Lakewood/Long beach? Even if they don't sell suzuki parts and are close and cheap for tire changing, i would even like to know that. I'm not about to pay 50 bucks for tire change off bike. Screw that.

TIA!

bellflower motorsports used to be pretty good on parts and accessories. Fair prices and decent delivery time for out of stock items. Havent shopped there in a long time so things may have changed.

And it was something like $10 a tire but now i think they bumped it up to $40 or something. Thats what made me start doing my own.

Wish I could help you out more but I do 99% of my own wrenching.

Im in La Palma about 15min away from lakewood/cerritos.

Hey duck so ummm..you do your own eh? how much you want per wheel? less then bellflower right? I just checked their shop out today and they want 20 bucks per freakin wheel. What a rip. :moon

Plus when I went into the showroom floor, I saw this dude sitting on a gorgeous new Gix750, asking is it a good wheelie machine. I had to make a comment yes this is the BEST bike on the floor. And no damn it it is NOT a wheelie machine that is a turning machine! Get a ZX10R if you want a wheelie machine....freakin squid....

Ado yeah definately let me know, if hes looking for some instruction as well I could well be his man :thumbup

if i like ya I dont charge anything.

Also since I only help you change your own tires. I built my own manual tire changer thingy.

The only problem is it takes alot of elbow grease.
