Who are the "best of best" carb rebuilders?
I've got a full core set of the proper carb for my 76 GL1000 LTD.
Considering my focus for the next year will be primarily construction related (retirement property), I've decided to farm out the carb overhaul to a pro.
Please post recommendations in this thread, and why you would use THEM in particular.
Thanks, folks!

You should remember that it's peace of mind you're after and not just fixing the machine. R.Pirsig

My vote as well. He keeps his business kind of low keyed compared to some. I know there are several on FB tooting their own horns constantly but I know Rob and his methodology and if I did not do my own that is who I would use.

Re: Who are the "best of best" carb rebuilders?
Thank you all for the recommendations, which speak volumes.
I've reached out to Robin via PM, and hope to hear soon & get the process started.

MagnaAndy at the Carb Spa also gets good reviews, but he specializes in V4 carbs. I've never used him, since I do DIY. Maybe consider him a back up if needed.
