Where should I take my 1974 Honda CB550 for a tuneup in Chicago?

Question

I just bought a 1974 Honda CB 550 four. It needs some minor work. Do any of you guys know someone in Chicago who is specialized in these bikes? Who do you reccomend? I love the bike and I really want the work that I can not do done right.
It needs a tune up and cleaned carbs.

Thanks so much guys, you Honda techs have really helped me out a ton with all my questions. As a rookie your advice has been extremely valuable to me. Thanks.

Answer 1

99% of dealerships will not take in any bike over 10yrs old for repairs.
--Hard to get parts - they're discontinued.
--Try to adjust something and it breaks - costing the customer more than the estimated repair price.
--Shop manuals unavailable.
--New mechanics don't know how to repair them.
--Your best bet would be to look in the phone book for a "non" name brand, repir shop. Or get it worked on in the middle of the winter when work is slow.
--You can always purchase a repir manual, ask questions here and/or get a mechanicaly inclined neighbor to do the work.
