Potentially looking for a good Venture mechanic in northern NJ

[Guest byekryam]

Ok guys, here's the deal. Bike's been good to me and no real complaints. But recently my battery has been drining down by something in the bike. Benn through 3 batteries and can't find the culprit.

 

Then newest problem......couldn't start bike. Called my mechanic (good ol Norton guy who's been good to me for years), but he's overwhelmed. Talked through some stuff over the phone. Had a few blown fuses, replaced them, but that wasn't it. Put everything back together but then blew the main fuse. Now I'm at a stand still. Can wait for my mechanic to free up, but that kinda sucks right now especially after it being such an icy winter and not driving much and a rainy spring and the same. Does anyone know a "good" Venture mechanic in the northern NJ area? I'm real picky on who works on my bike only because there's only 2 tires and me between the road and my spine!

 

On a second concern, is there any good plastic guys out there in northern NJ for fairing repairs? Someone hit me in the winter and some of the plastic needs repair. Still ride-able, but want to eventually get that looked at.

 

Thanks ahead of time for your input.

To keep from having to look, it's an 87 Venture.
