Motorcycle Garage around Dublin 3

Frank Bullitt

I have seen Paddys Pitstop pop up but I can't get through to him as his inbox is full on this side.

I just need to get some parts put on my bike and also an oil change. I tried (and spectacularly failed) myself to add them, but there is a bit of wiring involved so would prefer a pro to look at it.

Are there any other recommendations around North Dublin or close to the city centre that anyone can vouch for?

M&A at the 5 lamps.
Megabikes on Wexford Street.
Also GP Motorcycles just off Pearse Street.

All the above are motorbike workshops who will service most bikes.

Im not 100% - give them a ring first before hand. If they dont, they will point you in the right direction.

I have engine guards that are a pain in the balls to fit, it requires taking a large bolt out of the engine and I can't get it out.

There is also a mudguard that requires a stand to proper up the rear to get a bolt out as well.

I also have a tail tidy kit with a new LED rear light.

Strangely enough I have to fit them to my wifes bike. I haven't got the courage to take the bolt out yet.

If you're removing the torsion arm bolt for a mud guard then prop the swingarm up with a car jack to hold it in place. Make sure you protect the paint with a block of wood. This worked for our left and right hand swingarms with the Puig mudgaurds.

I am just lacking the confidence myself. I did give it a go but I then get the fear that I am going to ruin my bike.

I have seen the torsion arm bolt with the jack work well, but I may as well get the lot done by a garage, it would bring some peace of mind. The bike could do with a once over anyway.

Then ill get a nice valeted.

block of wood and a trolley jack or scissor jack under the engine,gives enough to be able to take out the bolts.

Easy to do

That was going to be my plan.

I have a pathological fear of the engine dropping out.
