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

Owned by a smart educated Thai guy, Khun Tee rides a BMW 1200GS & graduated in mechanical engineering, and has a masters in construction management.
He works one week on in Bangkok & one week off in Chiang Rai.
He deals in Baja Design Lights & his own Mach1 brand Lights

If you're looking for serious lights on your bike, look no further than Mach1 in Chiang Rai.
Mach1 lights are superior compared to the crappy 12-16W Chinese Leds generally available locally.
At the moment Mach1 lights are located here Google Maps
But Tee will soon be moving closer to town at his family house.
He is only in Chiang Rai one week at a time & then a week in Bangkok @ work.
So you need to confirm an appointment.
Facebook contact: MACH1 Lights Co.,Ltd.
Any chance they're still around? I had trouble following the google map link & can't find them online or on google maps. Does anyone have the coordinates please. Thanks!69 The Garage

Thank you! Appreciate. It's probably an issue with my device. The coordinates helped.
