Although he is in Sandy Eggo, Mike Valenti is wired into the west coast BMW fraternity. He's an R65 dot org member so a PM to him will likely get you several references.

I have had very good luck with Rick at Black Kat.  He is the airhead go to guy in LA, in my opinion.  Whenever I work on my bike I run it by his shop just to check I haven't done something wrong.  Safety first!

I'm not too familar with the LA area airheads, I did send Daman the Airhead Vendor List a while back via PM.  Maybe some additional R65'ers in the LA area along with Rick can throw some ideas in for some help.

Sorry Daman, wish I could be more help.  I'll check my world wide Airhead registry in my tank bag later this week and respond with some possibilities.

That list was perfect Mike. I called up Rick whose shop is 2 miles from my house?! He was more than helpful.

Thanks
