I got defrauded out of money by this place. I bought a taillight, the worker said it was the price on the box. I get home and take the light out of the box and find a price sticker saying a different price. I paid 61.99 plus tax, but the light has a price stick of only 19.99. Thinking of calling it in as fraud and letting the DA in Milwaukee deal with it. Update: they did refund the money. Update, they did refund my money after calling back and talking to the person in charge.UPDATE: The owner did refund my money and made everything right.

I have a pretty unique vintage bike. 1986 Yamaha Vmax. I noticed they had a 1985 when I checked them out in March. I had a lot of issues with idle, low & mid range performance. Small oil leak also. After a short discussion, we agreed on cost of carb cleaning/tuning. After a couple weeks i got it back & she was like a new beast. Performing like it was new! No oil leak. And, they knocked off $100 because they didn t need some parts! I ll always go back to these guys now!Service: Carburetor cleaning

Great dudes. Willing to help and go the extra mile. Helped me find a 4-1 exhaust for my vintage bike! I could shop online but would rather buy from these guys.

I had my bike back and fourth since March for an electrical issue. Here we are in mid June, no fixed bike,or explanation on my bike. Just made me pay for diagnosing over and over, purchasing parts to see if it will work. That s not how you service. Tell me my issue, I pay for labor and parts. Transaction done. Or tell me my issue I pay for the information, and fix it elsewhere. Simple. But they don t do business that way. I wouldn t bring a picture of a bicycle to them.Service: Electrical repair

I purchased a set of carburetors over the phone. They are very knowledgeable and professional. The carburetors matched exactly what was shown in the pictures and they arrived quickly to my home in another state. They assisted me in getting multiple over parts for my bike and gave me suggestion on other things to look at. They didn t try convincing me to buy something I wasn t talking about originally. They were respectful and patient. They were able to find parts I could not find and help me in getting the parts. If you are looking for fair priced, quality items that match the pictures you see. I would definitely use this company, they took good care of me and I will definitely continue to use there company to purchase items.Service: Delivery

I'd like to thank everyone there. Greatpeople and amazing prices too. I got the 02 Ducati monster. I called saying I'd like to look at it. When I got there it they had already placed it as pending sale for me since I had an hour drive. I will definitely be going through them for all my future cycle needs and purchases.

Ron and his guys are great, they brought back to life my 40 year old motorcycle that sat outside for many years. Will be bringing my other bikes back for service. Stopped in to get a clutch lever for the old bike and they found a good used one at a fantastic price. Awesome shop.Services: Carburetor cleaning, Tires, Engine repair, Wheel alignment, Brake service & repair, Battery, Oil changeServices: Carburetor cleaning, Tires, Engine repair, Wheel alignment, Brake service & repair, Battery, Oil change

Do NOT do business with these guys, I brought my bike here then after a week or so was told that my bike was fixed, running and ready to be picked up, only to call back and speak with a different guy who then adjusted the price from $491 I was told to $797. Then I said I'll just take my bike back. But I call again and speak with another guy who tells me that yeah it was a mistake on someone that didn't include the labor price. Well that's not my fault and besides I paid near $400 a year ago for a carburetor cleaning at the same place and now their prices have gone up, but they act like it's just the cost of labor. They're a bunch of BS. In all fairness they should have left the price as quoted by the first guy and honored the mistake. But of course not, doing good business is not who they are!!!Services: Carburetor cleaning, Delivery, Oil change

I have a highly customized Bike that doesn't really make adding parts an easy or straight forward task. And I knew finding a garage/shop that would want to work on that kind of bike could be a bit of a challenge. Ron and his crew at Milwaukee Cycle were more than happy to present a creative solution to what I was after and their final deliverable exceeded my expectations. The end result is a product application that performs very well and follows the aesthetic of the bike without looking out of place. I know what they did took some time, effort, and creativity and couldn't just be ordered and bolted on. That's what sets these guys apart, they'll go the extra mile and think outside the box. The end result shows this thinking and tenacity and was worth it in all aspects !!I will happily return to them with all of my MC needs, maintenance and so forth. I worked primarily with Ron, and couldn't be any more pleased with the results.

I purchased a CB Modulator for a 98 Goldwing. They advertised it in complete working order, at a fair price with excellent shipping optionsThe shipping was awesome 1 week. The item had minor seal issues on the back and was missing mounting screw. Minor stuff. The electronics however are at best temperamental. Finally got it to correct channel we want. Time will tell.

Went in to look at some bars for my bike as I need something with a different grip angle. The guys I talked to helped me find something suitable, they also had a good selection of other parts I'm looking for. Friendly guys, lots of conversation and help to be had. Just wish they were closer to my house... then again it's another excuse to get out and ride!

Needed leak in back break repaired and back tire replaced. Explained problematic brake issues. 2weeks later picked up the bike back break was weak and lost all pressure and the back tire went flat. Now I have to pay to have the problems fixed that I wanted fixed when I brought it in to begin with.Service: Brake service & repairService: Brake service & repair

I m giving these guys five stars, and to answer what your thinking about, no, I don t know these guys and they did not ask me to give them a review, heck I drove over six hours to pick up my item and I literally was only there less than twenty minutes. So, my reason for giving these guys five stars, is because they seemed like good people to me, awesome customer service and reinsurance, which I definitely needed. By the way I bought a 06 CBR1000RR Engine from these guys, to start off they answered every question that I had about the engine and in depth. A week later I asked if they would work with me on the price, and they sent me an offer immediately that I could not refuse, I will not say exactly what I paid for the engine because, you never know I could have gotten a deal better than the last guy, lol but, I will say now, I can buy that new PS5 for my nephew. Then to top it off I was giving reassurance that if this engine is a dud, I can bring it back and that they will not have an issue refunding me. And if I have any questions that their just a call away. I really wish these guys had a shop down here in Cincinnati, I would definitely let these guys work on any of my bikes. Thanks MCS so far you ve earned my repetitive business.P.s.I, was wanting to buy, an OEM left side mirror, for the 06 bike

The difference between and good company and a great company is in how they handle a customer's problem. I recently ordered a complete exhaust system from Milwaukee Cycle for my 2009 DL650 VStrom. I received the carton within a few days. The system was packed properly so there was no damage. Upon unwrapping the pieces, I was excited to see that the parts looked they had never been used. They were bright and shiny without a scratch. My excitement drained when I noticed that this system was for a newer model VStrom and would not fit my bike. After a couple of conversations with Ron at Milwaukee Cycle, we came to an agreement that we both thought was fair. Ron even went the extra mile to find the exact system that I needed -- at another supplier! Ron and his team are first rate, "customer first," business people. I look forward to our next transaction.

Milwaukee cycle salvage is an awesome place. Lots to see but the service is out of this world. The guys went the distance to make sure some brake parts I wanted would fit and at a great price. Nothing hacked up , all bolts, fastners and assorted extras came along and tagged from what bike it came off of. Thats a great way to service a customer. I am storing my bike there with a promise that come spring it will be ready to roll with out any Fuss!

I don t know exactly who I was dealing with, but let me tell you, this guy is a life saver, I couldn t find a chain case cover anywhere online, junkyards no where, he found me the cover in Canada, went above and beyond for me. Thank you so much, Please ask your employees who found the chain case cover for a ttr225 yesterday, and give that man a raise.

My adventures at Milwaukee Cycle Salvage started honest enough. My girlfriend wanted to ride with me, so we were looking for a local shop with good prices and knowledgeable staff to help her get suited up for a summer of riding. We found that Milwaukee Cycle Salvage staff were friendly and their inventory was decent enough, that visiting another shop wouldn't be necessary.After a month of riding, my girlfriend decided that the biking bug had bit her. She got her license and bought a small, inexpensive bike to learn on. She purchased a new tire from Milwaukee Cycle Salvage and had some other maintenance performed, further strengthening her customer relationship.Another month passes and her bike begins to have problems starting. We take the bike back to Milwaukee Cycle Salvage and have them give the bike a diagnosis (neither my girlfriend nor I have experience in motorcycle mechanics.) The techs at shop determine that her connecting rods were bent and that the bike was useless. They offered her $100 to take the bike off her hands, when she had bought it only two months previously for $1500. She spent nearly $400 with Milwaukee Cycle Salvage.We took the bike to another shop for a second opinion. They cleaned the carburetor and the bike runs without issue.I am not sure if the techs are Milwaukee Cycle Salvage are completely incompetent or were deliberately trying to rob my girlfriend, but they will no longer be receiving any business from me and I implore any potential customer to take your business elsewhere.*May 2017 follow up* - I just noticed that there was a response from the owner and believe that his response speaks millions about his business ethics:"Erin did spend $400 with us but that was over the entire summer for a helmet, tire and maintenance." - You're literally disparaging a customer here. We could have ordered the helmet off of Amazon, but we believe in small business and chose to give you the profit. Sorry about that."...and that person "told" them that he had gotten it running. They never saw or heard it run." - This is true. We never saw/heard it run. However, we didn't tell them the name of the shop where we had the service done, so it was out of their own interest that they messaged us about it running. For what reason would they lie?"I had requested several times to have Kevin call me, he would not return my calls." I am not compelled to, nor required to take a phone call. I also had purchased parts from you for both my Sportster and my FZ6. There are other bike shops in town and I don't have time to deal with someone asking me to remove a negative Google review. It's curious that you have me in your customer database, you know my name, but you did not attempt to contact me directly, but would always work through Erin.1-star review stands.

I purchased a chrome fender from MCS on eBay. I picked it up at their shop and it was exactly as shown online. I'll be checking with them for all my cycle parts going forward. Courteous, friendly service.

They always have parts for my cycles and great customer service! No models refused! If they don't have parts, they can find you what you need. I take my bikes to get services here. They are upfront about costs and I sure love to check out their displays!

Consistently GREAT experiences at Milwaukee Cycle. Very knowledgeable staff, and always get the job done thoroughly and right. As a female rider, I'm very comfortable with the staff at Milwaukee Cycle - they are polite and with the little mechanical knowledge I have I don't feel nickel and dimed or taken advantage of when it comes to pricing.

This is one of the best places you can go for your motorcycle needs, they're not always the cheapest on parts, but their service and quality is the best. I brought in my crashed yamaha FJR 1300, they took off all the parts i requested and charged me nothing in return even though i know they wont get more than $30 in scrap cause the engine and frame were destroyed he said "don't worry about it, it's your bike they're your parts, just be safe and come back in for service when you need that tire put on" and then he smiled and shook my hand. I have never been so caught off guard by such kindness and customer service, i felt so guilty i ended up bringing beer and pizza for them the next day :)
