I've always had good things to say about Bernard. He's a cool guy. Great sense of humor but he's also no nonsense and won't sugar coat things when it comes to business. His prices are competitive and he knows what he's doing. I usually bring my bike here for tire services but he's also great for bike maintenance. If you want a good deal and great service try him out read more

Thanks to Bernard for what was honestly the best service I could have imagined. The story goes like this: I brought my Harley to another shop for some work about a month ago. Mistake! After waiting for weeks, I got the bike back and it ran poorly. Embarrassingly so. Help was needed. I yelped around and found RAM. I brought the bike in yesterday a bit after 3:00pm...no appointment. Nothing. Bernard to the rescue! I was ready to leave my Harley for several days, but Bernard said that wasn't necessary...it would be ready tomorrow. Was called at 9:30am. Ready to go! Running smooth, fast and Harley-like again. ...and my wallet was not much lighter. Reasonable prices. GREAT service. A great guy. Thanks! read more

If you're looking for above and beyond type customer service this is THE place. Bernard has been more than kind, helpful, and accommodating. There could've been a communication error on my part, but Bernard had accidentally mounted my tire backwards (road rider did not want to take it because I was running tube in a tubeless tire). Being a man of his word, he had cleared time to fix it for me (this time with the tire on the bike). I usually go to Sport Tech for my repair needs on my 75 CB550 but Bernard has my business for all tire mounting services. P.S. He's a LIAR! He says he's 69 years old when he clearly does not look like it haha. read more

Service is still in process. Header pipe install was picked up. Took back for vibration. We'll see! 2 weeks ago RAM installed gear drive cams in my 2006 streetglide along with 40k service. Happy with the service. read more

terrible phone service. the guy was just a straight asshole. I just was wondering if they can help me out to bring in the bike today and just says he doesn't know if there's time and no way for him. like okay can't you just say sure bring it in and see what we can do for you. read more

July 15, 2016 To all of those who thought the good old service days were gone, I found it. I owned an RV facility across the street from RAM and knew Bernard senior in the late 80's and he did my Harley service then. Well I sold my bike a few years later and moved my RV facility to Morgan Hill and not having a Harley, therefore not needing service, I forgot about Bernard and his business on Phelan. Well I own a Harley now and looked for some service and found RAM on Yelp and saw the great reviews and called them up today. The phone was answered immediately and I ask to have my Harley looked at for a complete fluid change and was invited to go down and they would do it while I waited, not bad I thought. I rode my Harley down and was greeted by Bernard Jr. and he asked me to fill out the form and took my bike in, put it on the rack and started working on it immediately while I watched and asked questions. Then Bernard senior came in and it was like old times, we talked about the old days and how life was now compared to then. Time are tough with customers wanting from RAM the same prices as the internet knowing the guys online have no overhead or experience. Finding this type of quality service is HARD TO FIND so I do not mind paying a little more for parts as it cost more to operate. Thanks to the Bernard team my Harley is running better than before and I believe that even if I did the work myself it would have cost more not knowing exactly what I was doing. You need to pay for quality service as I know have been in the service business for over 50 years Thank you from Alan Cezar. read more

Bernard had my 1998 Harley Davidson Sportster running Tip top for sure. The best honest advice and affordable service fee on all the work that was done to my Harley Davidson. And by far the best customer service I have encountered ever! I will only go here for now on for all needs on my Harley. Thanks Bernard again! read more

Bernard explained all the work he would perform in great detail and tuned my bike perfectly. Runs better than when i brought it in. Quick service and great communication. The shops immediate availability for my bike was awesome. I will be back for sure. read more

I just wanted to let you everyone know that Bernard @ RAM was a lifesaver for me a few weeks ago. I had a flat and needed help asap. It was getting late sj harley had me on hold and then said they couldn't help me. Well I called RAM and spoke with Bernard and explained my situation. His response was I'm waiting on you... Well Bernard took care of the flat and while the back wheel was off he replaced my rear break pads because they were very low. Bernard, Thanks a lot I really appreciate your service. read more

if your looking for an old school shop with fast service and good people than you need to come to check out RAM. i called the shop on Sunday morning with a with a screw in the back tire of my 05 Road glide and the guys said no problem bring it down and we will get it fixed while you wait and they did. I have defiantly found my new shop big thanks to the crew, i highly recommend this shop read more

Overall Bernard's shop is okay and I would suggest for older bikes, tires, or simple stuff it's a good place to go. It's also good for accessories or modification. I don't think newer bikes is his thing; on a newer bike it cost me way over originally quoted on the phone. I don't think the computer stuff was his expertise. He pays another guy to do newer bikes and I felt like I ended up paying about double because he had to pay this other guy also. I think next time I will just go to a dealer for my service. If you have an older carb bike, RAM would be fine. I do feel that Bernard's shop is honest and he is a good person. read more

Finally made it down to this great shop I've heard about for a long time. They certainly live up to the hype: "Best Shop In Town". Great family business, friendly, knowledgeable, and more than fair with pricing. I had problems with a tire purchased on the Internet (learned my lesson). Why mess around with buying online when RAM Products has a lot of stuff already in stock and can provide excellent service on top! Can't say enough about how impressed I was with RAM Products. Highly recommended! read more

Honest businessman. I will never take my bike to anywhere else. Dude comes off rough at first but most bikers do, look past that and take your bikes here. Good prices and they do good work!!! read more

Bernard's super chill and his son, Bernard Jr. is cool too. They gave me a free tee, and I rock it when I ride. Kinda looks like a firefighter shirt tbh, but hey, it gets respecks when you're in the South Bay. read more

Man, this place was a life saver. My front mount right foot peg had broken a bolt off inside the shaft. Harley San Jose wanted me to pay $$$ and wait 2 days to even look at it. I took my bike here at RAM and the owner took care of it while I waited. I will be coming here again for sure. read more

My husband and friend are working on his Harley wondering what the hell he paid $500+ on to get his bike in running condition. Things that were claimed to be done, weren't (oil filter looks older than dirt and was wrenched on, parts cleaned and gaskets changed, etc). We were not expecting miracles for that amount but at least do what you say you're going to do. read more

Bernard and Joe, Very helpful guys, extremely knowledgable, and super nice. They hooked me up with a Harley rear end at a ridiculously low price. Everything fit and worked perfectly. read more

I was tired of getting different prices from dealership to dealership for a rear tire and installation. I found the price at RAM to be a little cheaper for the tire and much better for labor. Bernard noticed the rear brakes needed changing and showed me the pads when he took them off. Nice to see I really needed them. All together I paid less than the dealer with the brake pads included. I was fun to BS with Bernard as he was working on my bike. You don't get that at a dealership. I'll be back when I need more wore done! read more

Great people, good service and fair priced. Bernard brought my 80 Shovelhead back from the dead. He was very honest with me from the start. Told me maybe I should salesian bike and buy a new Dyna. I told him this bike was passed down to me and it has been off the road for 13 years. I couldn't sale it, but now I wish I did. Thought all it needed was a carburator... Sooo wrong. Bernard being the honest man he is, patiently told me that this bike was gonna be a project. Thought "project" meant in and out of the shop within 3 months but, 10 months later, I'm finally able to get it on the street again. That part sucks, not being able to find parts that worked on my bike or things getting back ordered. Bernard's great but he needs more manpower to handle the loads of work in his shop. My bike still has some issues, but that's because it wasn't taken care of by the previous owner. read more

My Victory Cross Country had chunked its old tires coming off a trip through Mines Rd. from Livermore, up Mt. Hamilton, and down to San Jose. I had already purchased a new set of Bridgestones but my old ones were so badly chewed I desperately needed the new ones mounted on a Sunday(!) as my bike is my primary ride. Called Bernard and he got me in late Saturday night just before closing and by Sunday noon, the bike was done. Great guys. I'll continue doing business with them! read more

Great place to come to. They specialize in harleys but I brought in my honda shadow and they replaced my tire and balanced them and fixed some other things here and there that I did not expect. Easy guys to talk to. Recommended. read more

From the moment Bernard answered the phone, he had me at HELLO - great personality - quality work 1986 Harley FXR - will be back as needed!

Bernard and Mark are great. Fair prices and honest people. Will definitely be bringing my bikes back here.

I just had the worst experience of my young life here. I AM GIVING YOU FAIR WARNING RIGHT NOW DO NOT GO HERE. Bernard is incredibly skilled, I will give home that. He is great with a Harley but they are sadly just lazy scammers. They had my bike for 2 weeks. 2 solid weeks and after paying them 1000 dollars for supplies I found out that, even though they knew full well how important it was to get my bike fixed asap, tje first part didnt even show up for 8 days. I don't care where you order your parts from anywhere in the US 8 days is ABSOLUTELY AND TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. Oh and they make you feel like an idiot if there is anything wrong with your bike. read more

After spending most of my Sunday morning and visiting 3 shops trying to fix my rear tire on my Road glide. A rider came through after chatting it up @ SJ H-D shop and told me about RAM products and Bernard. I was sooo glad to have found my new glide mechanic. Bernard and Mark took care of my baby and put me back on the road in less than an hour. I will be coming back soon for more maintenance. Thank you guys for letting me enjoy the rest of my Sunday on my glide! read more

Just what to thank Bernard and his shop for repairing my motorcycle. I do all my own work on the bike. I had a problem that I could not fix. Left with Bernard and I just got the call to come get it. Needless to say it have never run better and the repair bill was very fair. I would do business again with them, THANKS!!!!!! read more

I brought my 2008 road glide to bernard to change a rear tire and he got me in and out within the hour. one of the fastest tire services i've seen. while getting my tire changed bernard also did a checkup throughout my whole bike complimentary, come to find out i was 2 quarts low on oil and my front brake pads were gone. this guy really cares for his customers read more

If you ride and work on old bikes like shovelsheads, knuckles and even if you have the new ones Bernard is very knowledgeable and very helpful and he's one of the last shops in town that actually knows the difference . read more

Best place to go for any sort of work you need done on your bike. Bernard is by far the most genuine mechanic I've come across. I felt he took better care of my sportster than I ever did and all I came for was tires. His shop had so much availability, there was even a section to tune. read more

I have always had excellent service when taking my bike to Bernard and Gloria. EXCELLENT customer service and excellent work. Anyone who says different probbly had an attitude from the beginning when entering the shop so of course will come out with an attitude. Love this place and looking forward to having Bernard work on my next bike in the near future. Highly recomment RAM to anyone who is seeking knowledgeable and experienced mechanics. *~ LW *~ read more

Great service and a honest man who went the extra mile to help me when my shovelhead broke down.

Bernard is the man. Bike needed a tow a few months back. He was able to get to me within the hour. A little pricey for the service but well worth it for the quality work and speedy return of my bike. read more

Bernard is the best. He's old school and lives Harley Davidson. He used to be a too and die guy and can make custom parts to fit your bike as well. It's not too often that you find someone who has this much knowledge and passion. I brought my 2018 breakout and all I got from him was honesty. If something can't be done he will tell you straight up it can't. Doesn't give you the run around. He's very honest and you can count on him and his grandson to do great work. Looking forward to bringing my bike there next time. read more

Built 2 of my motors!!! My first bike and my second. I have been doing business with Bernard for years and have my full trust in him. He keeps my bike in tip top shape and makes sure I'm right on the road. If you looking for someone who has experience for years, look no farther !! This man can build an engine t00! Currently making 150+ hp on a motor he build and can drive it from Cali to Arizona ! Go see him for all your needs big or small his pricing is more then fair ! read more

I had a flat on my 2004 Fat Boy and was leaving for a run! Some fellow riders helped me out with advice and getting my bike to the shop! I can't even count how many people pointed me to Bernard. Glad I took their advice! Reasonable price and I was back on my HOG within 45 minutes! Thank you and for the grape lime slushy too! read more

I recently bought a used bike. So, wanted to change all the fluids and do a safety check. They took my bike in and had everything done right away. He recommended doing a few things, but wasn't pressing and could wait a bit. A week later, I came back to get everything else taken care of. Great service and very personable. Highly recommend bringing your Harley to Bernard. You've go a customer for life! Thank you read more

Hi Ram Motorcycle Repair, I wanted to greatly thank you the work you did on my bagger yesterday! I had a rear tire change along with some adjustments which Bernard (Owner) did himself. Two of my friends from well knowed Bay Area bike clubs, which I have know each for 35 years, highly recommended them me. They said that Bernard treats you well and a first class job with NO RUN AROUND or bait and switch! I found that to be true. Growing up in an automotive machine shop myself I enjoyed watching a true professional at work. His shop is set up for just about anything! While I was there, I spoke with a rider that Bernard pumped up an 02 to a 130 and said it screamed.. he was VERY happy with it! As well, a few other top bikes there which he had built that were very impressive! His associate Mark in the parts department was very sharp and gave me much of his intelligent time. I rode from Walnut Creek and well worth the 60 mile ride! There are many shops in between but I will send him ALL m business as I was not only impressed watching him work, but found Bernard to be VERY knowledgeable!! He has a DYNO too so that is next for me... I HIGHLY recommend them to you as all went well for me! It says a lot with my, one visit, I would leave my bike there tomorrow for a full rebuild and have no worries... a great shop! I read only one bad review from someone which I personally did not think was fair to this professional shop. With all due respect, that story must have been written on that guys worst day and I am sure, as a business owner myself, there was MORE TO HIS STORY! Come on man in my 35 years of Harley ridding... a bike tied up for that long was either the bike owner did not have money for the parts, money for the labor, both, or delays from something other than Bernard's work? That guy that wrote that should take a second look and realize that maybe he was pretty harsh and not giving credit where due? All of us look at these to be sure that someone was not jacked around to help us make the decision to take business there! Maybe he should enjoy ridding his bike... maybe even drop the bad post and start fresh? We all make mistakes, trust me with my past, I do or die too when I am angry and later the bad deed has always haunted me... Cloid read more

Not much to say. If you want the best service at a reasonable rate, come see Bernard.

I took a friend there that needed a seat. They didn't have much of a selection but the owner said they could order one. We looked for about an hour at catalogs finally found the right one at a decient price. The owner ordered it took a bout a week to get here. All in all it was a good expierience read more
