“Anyone out there looking for a good product, I would highly recommend T-Man. This will be my 3rd bike with T-Man. TR is a great guy you can talk to about what you want done to your bike”

– Dale Leslie     ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5

“These guys are the best hands down, amazing work and very helpful. TR himself took the time to help me with any questions I had to build my 110 CVO to a 117 and did all my head work, also installed his pistons and 660 cams. Bike rips.”

– Brad DeRoller     ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5

“I’m really particular about my bike and who does any work on it. I also like my stuff shiny. Well…I think I met my match for being particular!! TR just finished my build…a custom 124 TC. He turned every bolt himself and is very meticulous. I won’t go into all the details but it dyno’d 143hp/134 torque and is super smooth thru the range. if you’ve had any experience with other HD shops or builders…. I’m guessing you get your bike back an oily, hand printed mess!! Well….not at T-MAN….the bike was clean!! TR is honest and won’t tell you things will work if they don’t…needless to say… I’m impressed and anyone else will be too!!”

“The entire T-Man crew is top notch. They have incredible attention to detail in all aspects of their business. I have their 107ci Pro-Touring kit on my Dyna and the machine work is amazing. When it came time for dyno tuning, Brian really takes the time to ensure its happy in all RPM ranges. They have a customer for life here. Thank you TR and Brandon!”

“Brandon and Cierra, thanks for being patient and fielding all the phone calls. Thanks for walking me through the exact parts I wanted. Massive air cleaner with 58mm throttle body from HPI, 117 HD cylinders and 625 cams. Can’t wait to get head work done.”

– Clarence McKimmy     ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5

“I called T-Man Performance about a cam recommendation for my 2020 road glide special. My motorcycle already had the screaming eagle 131 kit installed but I was looking for as much performance as i could get out of the bike! After a very informative conversation with TR I decided to make the trip from Michigan to North Carolina and have TR and his team do the work on the bike, it was definitely the best decision I could have possibly made. Every time I ride the bike I’m more impressed with the performance and rideability! T-Man Performance has a customer for life and I’m already looking forward to more upgrades in the future!”

– Jeff Mull     ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5

“TR and Brandon have always treated us great, and they put out top notch products!! We have done business with T-Man Performance for over 20 years and look forward to many more!! Thanks again for always taking the time to answer our questions.”

“I set out to build my 15′ Low Rider into a big bore monster but after interviewing local shops in my home state, it quickly became apparent that my requests weren’t fully heard, understood, or in some cased flatly disregarded. My search area widened and I came across T-man Performance in Kernersville NC. From the moment I called and spoke to them, it was apparent that this shop was uniquely different.

I was able to chat through my desired bike with the shop owner and using that description T-man was able to design the matching components package. I was especially thankful that T-man was able to ask sometime difficult questions like how aggressively I rode and after a conversation on the subject, we established that my riding style wasn’t as aggressive as I had though. This honesty was beyond anything I got from other shop that sought to fit me into a pre-built category and call it a day. With T-man the decisions on components were based on conversations about riding style, desired trip distances, as well as the appearance, to arrive at the best component for my application and not the most expensive one on the shelf based on the biggest specification numbers. I never once felt T-man was offering my anything less than their unbiased opinion from their decades of experience.

The motorcycle was built at T-man’s facility and during the several month that constituted the build, T-man kept me apprised of the progress, providing detailed photos, videos and explanations for everything from component selection, bench top testing, to that first startup video. The final machine, packed with nuance features unique to T-man, greatly add to performance as well as the bikes demeanor. The power and the overall performance are out of this world beyond anything I imagined. Though I’ve ridden fast bikes before, none compare to the performance engineered into this machine; the smile it puts on my face is ear to ear through the RPM range and all the gears.

I’m very thankful to have gotten the chance to tour their facility as well as met the entire staff of professionals at T-man that ship/receive, machine, tune, design and built this wonderous machine and I consider myself a customer for life from this point on. I cannot say enough good things about T-man Performance but there you have my attempt at it.”

“Brandon, TR, Cierra, Brian and the rest of the crew are the best in the industry. Quality parts, exceptional customer service and all around great people. When I decided to build my bike I knew these were factors to take in consideration. They blew my expectations out of the water. These guys aren’t just my go to for fast parts these guys are my addition of my good friends. You want your bike to hurt feelings and be reliable and still ride it across country? Call the best and forget the rest! It’s TMAN PERFORMANCE for anything I’ll ever build again.”

– Michael Baldwin     ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5

“Great customer service. Easy to ask questions and get answers. Very informative. I’m very excited I chose T-Man Performance!”

– Ryan Granath     ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5

“TR, Brandon, Cierra and team are absolutely AWESOME!! I finally got a chance to have my Big Bore build (which included T Man components) Dyno tuned. I am very pleased with the T Man 3262 cam. Ended up with 147hp/148tq (SAE) – 153hp/154tq (STD)! The Dyno sheet’s HP & TQ curves are amazing! My tuner says he hasn’t seen curves like that from other camshafts with comparable builds that he has tuned… And trust me, he has seen a lot! Torque turns on early and carries consistently throughout the rpm range.

What’s even more appreciable is the fact that Brandon took the time to explain explain everything to me regarding T Man’s cams, products and services. I’m now a T Man Performance Customer for life! They made me a believer. Other outfits I’ve dealt with in the past made big promises, but fell far short on actual results. That isn’t the case for T Man Performance! I’m thoroughly pleased and very happy with the results of T Man Performance products.”

“I was star struck yet was made to feel like I was the star. I’ve followed T-Man for some time so when I saw the shop was near the bike tire shop I had to at least try and am so glad I did. I was given a tour and Lord knows that most wouldn’t do that for a guy looking like me yet they saw right into my heart and, again, made me like a star struck little child. Thank you guys so much from the bottom of my heart, it’s going to continue to be ranked at the top of my life’s awesome moments!!”

“I just had my engine build done at T-Man Performance and I would like to share my experience in case anyone is considering using them or even someone else. I apologize if this is long but they deserve a detailed review and if you’re seriously considering doing a build, then it’s good to be very informed.

I own a 2019 Harley Road Glide Ultra. I enjoy taking it on longer trips across state lines and touring different sites around the country. I was previously running a Thundermax Tuner, Redshift 468 cam, and had the Fueling camplate/oil pump along with other supporting components. Even though I had upgraded the oil pump/camplate already, I was having some sumping issues and wanted to get to the root of the problem. I emailed T-Man Performance to inquire about the bottom end service. I saw videos on youtube about their scraper system that they use and started watching more of their videos. I started researching what I could on other social media sites trying to find reviews of their company and found overwhelmingly positive reviews. Many went back to 10+ years ago. I received a reply email from the son, Brandon, who gave me a very detailed explanation on a multitude of issues I could be having with my bike. Me being me, that just opened up more questions I had and decided to give them a call. I spoke with Brandon who had me speak with his father, T.R. They were both extremely helpful and answered several questions I had (I won’t bore you with what the questions were specifically). After speaking with them, reading everything I had about their company, watching their videos, and even seeing other builders using T-Man parts I decided to have them not only do a bottom end service to help solve the oiling issues, but might as well let them do a full build. I told them I was looking for a “bulletproof/dependable motor, that I could take on long trips, run on pump gas, and is good for all types of riding (1 or 2 up, highway, mountain/back roads etc).

I live in western NY and riding season was coming to an end so I trailered it 12 hours south and dropped it off. When I did drop it off, T.R. sat down with me and we talked about every aspect of the build. He explained why he does certain things, what he recommends and what he doesn’t. I would say we talked for over an hour in an office. He then took me on a tour of his facility and showed me projects he was working on, along with the machines he used, and introduced me to his staff. It was a family owned business and everyone was very friendly and I never once felt like I was “just another customer.” I felt they were very eager to build me a product that I would be happy with. The professionalism was fantastic and very refreshing.

When T.R. had my bike, he would call to keep me updated and advise me on anything that may have come up during the build. I never felt out of the loop and was very appreciative that I had a good grasp on how things were moving along, especially since I was 600 miles away. There were also several times I would call him throughout the build to ask a question or get a status update on a pick up day since I was going on vacation down south and he never once made me feel like I was a bother. That was huge for me.

Now for the day I picked up my bike….. The bike was cleaner than when I dropped it off and it was ready to go. I was there with a trailer and heading down to Florida for Daytona Bike week and to ride to Key West. He brought me into the shop to talk about what was done and went over some pointers. He had me hop on the bike and take it for a ride. OH…MY….GOD!!!!! The bike ran like a Harley should run. He offered a detailed explanation of the bill and to answer any questions I had regarding that. I loaded up the bike and went down to Florida to ride since it was 16 degrees and snowing back home.

I put about 1450 miles on the bike over the next few days and started to get a good grasp on how she runs. The dyno sheet showed some very nice torque curves, that produced 162hp/158tq. The bike rode fantastically through all rpm ranges. I did some highway riding and some back road riding that week. Never once was I disappointed in the performance. I am still taking it a little easy on the motor since I have to do an oil change after breaking it in but I can tell it is a beast. My sumping issues I had prior to the build seem to be resolved. I checked the oil on the dipstick after riding about 1000 miles and it was not down one dot on the dipstick. I would lose almost a quart per 1000 miles before T-Man Performance built my bike. That was the most satisfactory thing for me. These guys are true professionals that know what the heck they’re doing. Not to knock the moco but they could learn a few things from T.R. and T-Man Performance.

A few days after I picked my bike up T.R. called to follow up and see how the bike was doing. I thought that was awesome since I wasn’t forgotten about because I already paid the tab and left. Again, truly professional.

Now to be fair, I should give my 2 negative issues I had to undergo. First, maybe I should have gotten a hat instead of a t-shirt to wear from their merchandise for when I rode a bike they built because I lost my own hat quickly. Second, they should consider moving closer to where I live so I don’t have to drive so far when they do my next bike (I am not getting rid of this one though). In all seriousness PLEASE give these guys a shout. They will treat you like a valued customer and not try to oversell you. They make recommendations but if something can be skipped they don’t try to force you to buy anything you do not need.

In case anyone is wondering I was their first M8 135ci build. There are a couple videos posted on their Facebook and Instagram pages. Thank you T.R., Brandon, Cierra, and the rest of the staff for your assistance and building me a bike that exceeded my expectations.
