The 4000 sq. ft. shop is along side a brick alley in a well over 100 year old building located in the historic “Old Louisville” section of the city. The building was once a paper mill/printing house, and a bumper repair and exchange. The concrete and wooden floors and brick walls are weathered and marked from hard work throughout its lifetime.
Owned and operated by life long enthusiast and motorcycle mechanic Chad Francis - Retro Wrench has a work ethic that can only come from the passion for motorcycle repair that a lifetime of riding, and repairing what you ride, can provide. We service early Harley Davidson motorcycles, British motorcycles, such as Triumph, and BSA, European motorcycles such as Ducati, BMW, and Husqvarna, Japanese motorcycles from the 60′s, 70′s, and 80′s: Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, and Kawasaki. Our repair portfolio has included repairs on vintage scooters, custom choppers, European pedal mopeds, and full restorations on vintage motocross bikes. Four stroke, two stroke, trail, and street. Frame, suspension, carburetion, electrical, top-end and full engine rebuilds. We specialize in classic and vintage motorcycle repair, maintenance, paint and bodywork, tank fabrication, seat fabrication and upholstery, wheel service, fuel tank lining and repair, machine service, and custom fabrication. We stand behind our services at Retro Wrench, and we work hard to take great care of our customers.

basilbowman asked:Spring weather made me think - does anyone know any good motorcycle shops to get my bike ready for spring? I've been doing most of the work myself, but this year I'm doing a lot more at work and don't really have the time. Anybody have a good shop to take my 82 Yamaha to get an oil change/tuneup/carbs synched to get ready for the season?

Adam F. asked:I got out the Yamaha sr250 after the winter and the starter is dead. I've got power all the way down. Pulled the starter and put power straight to it and nothing. Does anyone know a good place I can get a starter rebuilt? Preferably southern Indiana but I can cross the river if it comes down to it. I've seen the kits online but i'ld like to be sure it is done right.Scott H. replied:Chad Francis at https://www.facebook.com/104190256379849 Retro Wrench
