Does anyone know of a good bike builder in the NW?

Honda CX500 that needs complete wiring, engine rebuild, etc. (custom)

Cost isn't an issue. Attention to detail is the key thing. It's a full custom job.

Not in the North West, but can recommend this guy, known him for years and he's done a number of CX500s.

I've grown quite fond of the CX looks,over the passing years

Do you know how much work it is to get the alternator out?
