I typically avoid this kind of thread as well.

Why? Because IMHO, some shops are good for certain services, others for other services, and often it comes down to the mechanic (like salespeople, I'll follow a good mechanic from shop-to-shop if I know where they went).

TAMPA:
Tires & Bearings on any bike (great tire guy on staff), plus work on bikes so old the dealer doesn't want to touch them (i.e. - got an late 70's - early 90's something or other?), but I won't bring them serious work on any bike under a decade old:
RTM Motorcycles Inc.
14540 N Florida Ave
Tampa, FL 33613
(813) 265-2307

If you use these guys, do so only for Fork Rebuilds, warrantee work, and make sure you specifically ask for the old timers on staff (they burn through young MMI graduates who aren't 100% yet regularly):
PowerSports of Tampa (Suzuki Dealership)
13521 N Florida Ave
Tampa, FL 33613
(800) 237-3599

Jet work, dyno-tuning:
R&R Performance (Call ahead - schedule appointment)
4302 E 10th Ave, #105
Tampa, FL - 33605-4622
(813) 241-0162

If you're in Tampa, need serious work, serious debugging to figure out a problem and it doesn't fall into one of the above, you're pretty much #$% as far as I can tell. Good luck!
