    Need a good machine shop-Chicago

    I am considering switching my stock, damaged steering bearings to an All Balls kit, but the site said I would need some modification done to the steering stem. I was told to take it to a machine shop, but I don't normally deal with a business like that, so I need to find a good one.

    Anyone know any good machine shops in the North Chicago suburbs (or even the North side)? Quality of work is a main concern, but price is important too.

    I still think you should look for a newer Steering head that wouldnt need that machining.

        Shouldn't be that hard -- you don't really need a motorcycle-specific machine shop to accomplish this.

        There are several GS-ers in that area. Have patience -- one should be along soon.

          I think four and six racing could probably do that for you. I've never used them but I've heard good things. I've talked to them on the phone a couple of times and they struck me as pretty honest.
