Precision diagnostic, electrical, and fabrication services for vintage and complex motorcycles. We don't guess; we engineer permanent solutions.

The Initial Inspection Promise

The industry standard of charging exorbitant diagnostic fees just to look at a machine is broken. We operate on a model built entirely on trust, transparency, and mechanical competence.

The Free First Hour: We offer an initial, hour-long diagnostic inspection completely free of charge. If your issue is a simple fix that we can resolve within that first 60 minutes, your charge is fully waived. You owe us nothing.

If the issue requires deep diagnostic tracing or a teardown, we will stop at the one-hour mark. No further work will commence, and no billing will occur, until a firm commitment to work is established between us.

Our Labor Standard

  • Hourly Shop Rate $45 / hr
  • Labor Estimation AI-Verified Standard

*We strictly bill at $45 per hour for actual labor, utilizing AI-estimated labor rate databases to ensure fair and accurate quoting for every project. We gladly accept pulled parts for bench servicing.

"We Tow, You Ride" Service

Dead machine sitting in the garage? We offer a seamless intake and dispatch process designed to get your motorcycle to the bench safely.

  • The Pickup: We will come to your location, load your motorcycle, and transport it to our facility where we will perform the inspection and write your official service ticket.
  • The Hand-Off: Once the service ticket is accepted and the work is successfully completed, we will schedule a time for you to come to the shop and confidently ride your revived machine home.

Intake & Refusal Policies

Clear expectations protect both the rider and the mechanic.

  • If you reject the proposed service ticket after we have picked up the machine, a $50 return tow fee will be assessed to transport it back to your location.
  • The Backorder Guarantee: Due to the nature of vintage motorcycles, if we discover a required part is severely backordered or delayed, we will notify you immediately. If desired, we will reassemble your motorcycle to its intake condition and return it to you while we wait.
  • Rice-MotoTech LLC reserves the right to turn down any work or decline a project at any time.

Roadside Diagnostics & Custom Cables

When you are stranded, a tow isn't always the only option. We offer dedicated roadside dispatch to resolve critical failures where they happen.

  • Diagnostics & Delivery: Dead battery jumps, active charging system testing, and emergency fuel delivery at a fixed dispatch rate.
  • Dedicated Scope: Our core focus is carburetor and electrical systems. We avoid the hassle of modern high-pressure fuel injection lines to ensure we fix what we know best.

On-Site Cable Fabrication

Snapped a clutch or throttle cable? Don't wait weeks for an OEM replacement.

We deploy with the tooling and a portable solder pot to measure, cut, and mechanically dip-solder bespoke cable ends directly on the shoulder of the road. We build a factory-strength cable to get you home and keep you riding.

Our Mission

The mission of Rice-MotoTech LLC is the intersection of the thrill of riding and our devotion to keeping these machines rideable.

We want you to be able to enjoy your motorcycle without the stress of an unpredictable, massive shop bill. For us, it is not about trying to sell you a service—it is strictly about engineering a reliable solution to get the bike, and its rider, safely back on the road.
