All I seem to be able to find are useless HD jokers that were all too glad to get rid of Buell!

Would you know of any good Buell shops in south eastern Canada, or in the northern NY state, or Vermont area?

Thanks for the map!


Unfortunately, I have called a few of these in Canada and they are as clueless about Buells as my dealer was. THe Hawksberry one basicly told me that they will not service any Buells, and that only the actual dealer where I bought my bike "will be forced by HD" (his words) to service it.

does this happen in the US?

The dealers aren't "good", just this is where they are. The list isn't complete, and I am constantly adding and removing some as I find out if the dealers support Buells or not. The green flags are Badweb sponsors and are more likely to be good. I got a long list with something like 40 Canadian dealers that need to be added still, and nobody is submitting overseas dealers.

I am thinking of starting to import the list from Buell.com, as it seems to have finally been updated.

Thank you for sharing that they won't service Buells, I added a note to their listing.

Froggy -

Antelope Valley HD (Lancaster, CA) is a very Buell-Friendly dealer. I think the Co-owner even owns a Uly. Took my 08 XT there for the 1k mile service, and was impressed by the treatment and service. Also a nice ride through the Mojave to get to Lancaster.

Sorry, not sure if you were still soliciting additions...

Cool I added them. I swear I added them before, I need to check my notes.

Froggy:
Tucson Harley/Buell has been treating me right lately. Actually, they always have. They haven't stopped doing so because of the closure of Buell.

Hard to get some parts out of Harley, apparently, but the local folks are trying, from what I can tell.

Now if only the right hand grip/heater for my '09 Uly would come in...

Need the address?

Mathieu, Syracuse, NY is a bit further than your inquiry. But Performance HD has treated me well and is still Buell friendly. I haven't had to get any parts other than gaskets so I don't know about their ability to obtain parts. Their service guys are amiable and willing to talk out problems. One mechanic I know for sure has an M2 Cyclone he is constantly tearing down and building up. I don't know what your needs are or whether it's worth the travel but I think they are all right.

Will be going tomorrow to get tires at Donahue in St. Cloud, MN. I know they're Buell-friendly and always have been. Cool people up there too.

I've ordered oil filters and such at Wild Prairie in Eden Prairie MN (I work nearby). I know they're still a Buell service dealer as well.

Matt,

HD Ottawa (http://www.hdottawa.com/) has been fairly decent with respect to servicing my Uly - I wouldn't say that they loved to see a Buell come in, but they didn't seem to totally hate it. They always had a few Buells on the floor, and even had a Uly demo bike last summer. I haven't been there since Buell was discontinued though, so maybe their attitude has changed...

I wouldn't even bother trying with Gatineau HD. I've been there once, and there was 1 Buell in the showroom, behind the clearance rack of pirate outfits. No other sign of Buell in the whole place. That was before the discontinuation of Buell.

Isn't Fletcher's HD a sponsor here now? They are on the map, but not listed as a sponsor.
