Hi,
I broke the brackets for my extra lights and need to get some new ones made out of steel. Any recommended shops in Chaing Rai that could do simple fabrication quickly?
Bit of a delayed update. We rolled into Chiang Rai on the 25th and stopped at Mr. Chet's on the way in. He wasn't there so we carried on into Chiang Rai and found a hotel. Called the Harley dealer and they asked what bike it was. After I told them Ducati the guys said sorry we only work on Harleys. WTF? Didn't suggest any other shops or anything just said piss off essentially. This is why I would never own a Harley. We drove around and stopped at a couple of small bike shops that gave us directions to another shop but it was late in the day and when we got there it was closed. Went back to the hotel for a beer and a swim in the pool and I decided to try and call Mr. Chet. He said he would be at his shop in the morning until noon and could help if we arrived early. We showed up at 8:30 and he had us on the road by 9:30. Asked the price and he said 100 baht. Gave him 200 baht and left with a smile. Mr. Chet seems like a great guy and has a great attitude. Can't say the same for Golden Sun.

I happen to know Khun Jub at Golden Sun personally. I have known him and his father for more than 15 years. He is a real gentleman, so please don't get the wrong impression. Their business is selling and repairing Harleys and it is true, they don't sell or work on any other make of bike. That does not make them bad people, or make Harleys bad bikes. I have never owned a Harley but I often drop in for a chat and coffee with Khun Jub as he is always interested to see one of my old Brit classic bikes. Khun Jub also owned a Ducati until recently. Lakota has given a list of repair shops in Chiang Rai and thank you for that.
Great shop.69 The Garage

Thank you! Appreciate. It's probably an issue with my device. The coordinates helped.
24 km / hr Service - Thoeng.
Adjoining the shop is a regular scooter—small bike—service centre.
This belongs to the father of Anwar, the owner of 24 km/hr Service.
Anwar is a young guy who learned his bike mechanics from his dad, a lifelong bike mechanic.
Over the years, they have had multiple service centres in and around Thoeng.
Being younger and more dynamic, Anwar wanted to progress with his own business, servicing big bikes = 24 km / hr Service Centre.
Obviously he is keen and already has a lot of customers from around the area, and as far as Phayao, he says.
The bonus of his shop is a pickupand delivery service.

That's really good to hear your positive experience as I have been meaning to check out this shop further. I'm thinking I might get them to check adjust valve clearances.I recently had some work done here on my Yamaha X-Max 300 and was impressed with Anwar's knowledge, he and his wife have little English but are very fast with Google Translate, and somehow they make a video in Thai of what my issue was and used some program to translate into English, great for me and easy to understand, kept me updated with photos and text as some parts needed to be ordered from Yamaha Bangkok.
Very good job done and a well equiped workshop, knows how to check things with dial guages and feeler guages, something most local shops around here would not know what they are, its hard to find a shop here that even has a tyre pressure guage.
I hope he stays in business as the location is very handy for me![]()
