About
Dealership-trained. Independently run.
20 years of experience working and running Harley-Davidson service departments. At Swafford Speed you can expect the same standard of work without the overhead of a big-box floor.
Philosophy
Quality over quantity
This shop takes one bike at a time, by appointment, so every job gets the attention a dealership schedule rarely allows. The goal isn't throughput — it's a bike that starts right, runs right, and stays that way.
Services offered
Routine Maintenance
Scheduled service done right: fluids, brakes, drivetrain, and inspection, with an eye for what's about to become a problem.
Engine & Transmission
Ground-up rebuilds and top-end service across Panhead through Milwaukee-Eight platforms.
Carburetion & Fuel Systems
Carburetor rebuilds, EFI tuning, and fuel delivery diagnostics for vintage and modern setups alike.
Custom Builds & Fabrication
Hardtail kits, one-off brackets, exhaust work, and structural modifications, done in-house.
Vintage Restoration
True to form restoration of Knucklehead, Panhead, Shovelhead-era bikes, with correct-for-year parts and mechanical recommissioning done to match the bike's history, not erase it.
Wreck & Structural Repair
Frame, fork, and bodywork repair following a wreck, with an honest assessment of what's rideable and what needs replacing.
Questions
Good to know before you reach out.
Do I need an appointment?
Yes. This shop works one bike at a time, by appointment only, with no walk-ins and no waiting room. Reach out and we'll find a slot.
What eras of Harley-Davidson do you work on?
Everything from Panhead and Shovelhead through Evolution, Twin Cam, and current Milwaukee-Eight motors, covering vintage restoration and modern performance work alike.
Can you do custom fabrication, not just repairs?
Yes. Hardtail conversions, custom exhaust, one-off brackets, and full custom builds are a core part of the shop, not an add-on.
