I had a lot of problems with my bike after having a power commander fitted somewhere else and eventually removed the pc. I spoke to Race HQ and enquired about a remap. After speaking to Gavin I decided this was the way to go. I could not be happier with the service provided and my bike now runs sweet. I will be using Race HQ again that's for sure. Thanks.

Have been using Race HQ for a few years. Previously had bad experiences with other motorcycle workshops, so was wary at first. Have only had good experiences with Race HQ. Sometimes the work is cheaper than expected and sometimes a bit pricier, but I’m always happy with the bill as I know it will be fair and they will have done their best. They know what they’re doing and there is no snobbery if you don’t ride in on a gleaming sports bike. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Really friendly people and above all, totally professional. I have two bikes, an old classic Virago and a new Honda and they are equally at home and knowledgeable when working on either. Great workshop, who never rip you off. I cant recommend anyone higher.
