Rubber Side Down is awesome...came to my place early in the morning before I had to go to work to take my Bonneville to the mechanics! Also +1 to HK Moto Sports as a great all brand repair shop.

Cardenas motosports in Tualatin. Mike is a great guy and is a serious enthusiast Chris At CycleTune is another great choice. I think he is in SE?

Dollars to doughnuts, it is probably gonna be cheaper to buy a new bike than replace the wiring harness on your CX. This assumed you fried the whole harness, and will pay a shop $70/hr to fix it. Good luck with it. All the shops mentioned so far are great. Doc Brown will actually yell at you for bringing that bike to him. But it will be worth it. He is gold.

~~[Langlitz](https://www.langlitz.com/) sounds like your best bet.~~ Otherwise, I’d say a drycleaner/tailor should be able to do it.

Alteration Station on Broadway did an amazing job repairing the zipper on my 1.5 mm THICC boi Vanson jacket. It wasn’t cheap (~$70) but it’s stronger than ever before and more affordable than replacing the entire jacket.

Yeah, most dry cleaners will be able to help with simple tailoring/repairing like that.
