My 02 VTX 1800c is over due for her 8,000mi service and I am pretty sure she needs a valve adjustment.

Is there anybody out there that would be interested in doing said valve adjustment? I'm trying to save some time and money (plus I would much rather give some cash to a fellow X'er)

Or maybe someone would like to recommend a good shop? (I live in the Seattle area)

Thanks

I had Ride Motorsports in Woodinville do it. Did a good job. Cost $160 or so. Worth it since it would have taken me a few hours (or more). Ask for Dave in service and tell him Scott with the blue VTX 1800c sent you.

Yeah, they looked it up in the service manual and it says it should only take about 2.5 hours at about $70 per hour or so.

Runs great so it seems like they did an great job.

Just realized though, you've got an 1800. Don't know if the price would be the same or not. I've got a 1300.
