Where to service BDog at Chicago?

[dba777]

I am in chicago. Where can I service my Big Dog in Chicago?
There is a BG dealer called Hollywood Cycle nearby, but I heard bad references of the place. Could some experts from this site recommend a professional shop that specializes in servicing Big Dogs in chicago or surroundings.

Thanks!

1) My dealer -- I bought my K9 there, and they do excellent service:
Milwaukee Area Motorcycle Dealer, Preowned Motorcycles, ATVs, Snowmobiles, Sales, Service, Parts, Accessories, Jamie’s Customs & Powersports Big Bend

2) If you don't want to travel that far, I've heard this guy is worth a shot:
The Cleanest Custom Choppers in the Midwest - Johnny Legend Customs - Wheaton, Illinois

3) I'd steer clear of Hollywood Cycles....'nuf said!

4) Learning to do routine service items on our own is a good idea for ALL of us, especially now that BDM no longer manufactures bikes nor supports warranty nor a dealer network.

I got few issues to fix.

1. Few electrical wires need to be replaced. Original wires melted under the bike. I posted to the board description here:

2. Clutch adjustments. Bike gets stuck in 5th gear, will upshift and but wont downshift.

Simple things like oil changes and maintenance I could do myself, but due to lack of mechanical experience would need to reach out to the pro mechanic for help with above repairs.
