Lets just put this on the table, waiting flippin sucks when it comes to our bikes upgrades.
It’ll alter your day to day and cause you to reach out to your mechanic more than an ex girlfriend.
Alright all jokes aside, we all know when you get into any sort of new products and the excitement just overtakes your thought process of “what a rad bike going down the road it’ll be”. We run into the infamous “backordered” or “failed QC” words we never want to hear. As current events and new supply chain demands put these parts harder to get and more expensive as well. This will play the hand of longer wait times and is the new normal. Something all of us need to come to terms with.
Lets not run in the wrong direction of the here and now “amazon mentality” a detriment to all. Another aspect of this, telling your mechanic lets put some extra parts to this build in the middle of the build since we are already in there.
Updates on parts going in the dream build bike:
- HPI manifold
- HPI Throttle body
- Billet fuel rail
- Custom push rods
- 13” big brake conversion
- Brembo GP4-RX calipers front and rear
- New pulley to match wheel and rotor design
- Swing arm (My Machinist)
- Top and Bottom Trees (My Machinist)
- Bar, riser (My Machinist)
There is plenty more to come with this bike and so will the waiting. In the end it is all worth it. Looking forward to more smiles and miles ahead.
