Author Message   Tempest766 Posted on Tuesday, August 14, 2012 - 01:57 am:        I'm considering a move from western PA to Greenville SC. What is the closest "good" Buell service and parts shop to Greenville? How many miles/hours/days to get there? Thanks!   Hughlysses Posted on Tuesday, August 14, 2012 - 05:30 am:        The closest servicing dealer is probably Thundertower HD/Buell in Columbia, about 120 miles south east of Greenville. I think they've got a decent reputation for servicing Buells. Check in with the SC Buell Riders group (http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/37/ 130123.html?) in Stormfronts.   Tq_freak Posted on Tuesday, August 14, 2012 - 11:02 am:        Just moved from Spartenburgh SC there was a dealer just outside of Charlotte but they went under. There is another in Hickory NC that is....O.K, used them for warranty work on my CR but other then that I did it all myself,   Glenn Posted on Tuesday, August 14, 2012 - 08:34 pm:        What about Tilley's in Statesville, NC? I have no service experience with them but they did sell quite a few Buells. They also did some of the Muffler shoot out on their dyno a few years back i believe.   Hughlysses Posted on Tuesday, August 14, 2012 - 08:53 pm:        The closest dealer to you according to the locator at buell.com is in Athens, GA, about 96 miles away. No idea if they're a decent dealer or not: Harley-Davidson of Athens http://www.cycleworldathens.com/ 4225 Atlanta Highway Bogart, GA 30622-2262 706-549-6890   Greenlanternjeep Posted on Wednesday, August 15, 2012 - 03:59 pm:        I purchased my first Buell from Cycleworld of Athens. They did all my service work and always took great care of me. I recommend them for service work because they sell Harleys and crotch rockets so they have a very diverse group of mechanics.   Buelldualsport Posted on Wednesday, August 15, 2012 - 05:50 pm:        Tilley In Statesville will take great care of you and your Buell.   M2nc Posted on Wednesday, August 15, 2012 - 06:24 pm:        Second or third Tilley's in Statesville.   Tempest766 Posted on Thursday, August 16, 2012 - 12:05 pm:        Thanks guys! It looks like nothing is "close", but opinions on the dealerships in NC and GE are welcome. I got spoiled here in western PA with an authorized service station only 15 minutes away.   Hughlysses Posted on Thursday, August 16, 2012 - 12:44 pm:        Look at it as a good excuse to start doing your own maintenance.   Arcticktm Posted on Friday, August 31, 2012 - 03:51 pm:        I would NOT recommend the Hickory dealer. They did not know Buell's back when they were still in business, so I am pretty sure they would not be any better now. that said, they never completed any work for me good or bad. Tore my clutch apart, but I picked up the bike and fixed myself when Buell refused to cover it under warranty.
