Hi I seem to have 3 people for the 1 kit................
FEAR not cause I am thinking I will discount a kit from China and send to people and hopefully everyone is happy.
Is your mate Chad H on a facebook group by any chance?
Plaes PM me and I will work out a plan so everyone is happy

Yeah- I think all 3 of us are the same person. -Sorta CHad H asked about it for me on FB.


We were over 10,000 ft on a killer climb to see this view (below) and the bike could sure use the extra power up here!



So he talked me into buying the big bore right there on the mountainside! If we can work out the pickup/etc/.

Ok please hold off a day? Let me talk to the other guy from that FB group as he is in New Jersey and he would send it from SLC to there and I might as well send a new kit from China to him and eat a little bit of the costs to keep the sale afloat etc.

OK, but time is of the essence. We have a big trip coming up- I didn't want to order it from China and worry about it getting here in time.



When Chad mentioned you had one here locally I was all in.

Sweet no issues

Guys it is around 5 days or so from China and that is not slow..............
Just so you all know my price service etc is the best and nearly the cheapest compared to if you spend loads of time hunting around n dealing with a Chinese agents but then its like a month

ChChCh,

NzB sends a kit with everything you might need to get your 300 up and running other than oil and Loctite. You'll need red and blue Loctite, and you might want to make sure to use a cheap dyno oil for motorcycles (wet clutch friendly) for break in.

Be careful choosing oil. Stopped by a Walmart looking for my favorite chain lube a few days ago. Saw a teenager picking up store branded synthetic. For cars. Seems he has been through 3 clutches in his 4-wheeler. He rebuilds, uses SG dino for break in, switches to the same brand synthetic, and the clutch goes out. Again. He is trying motorcycle synthetic this time. Hope it works.

As long as it is Jaso MA rated he will be fine. I've run Valvoline 4T synthetic from Walmart in my bikes for years.

Brakes. Brake upgrades are the most important part of engine mods.

trouble finding or getting a few discs made - my Chinese top and I mean top mechanic is sourcing 1 from his Malasian supplier and I hope to see something end of next week.
My AIm is a 300-320mm rotor maybe stock caliper but CNC bracket or 4 piston caliper and direct push mater cyliner
NO ONE in China wants to make 5 - 10 discs only 50 - 400 pieces and I don't think the market is that big.

I have the software to draw anything I can dream up short of drilling around curves. I have access to a CNC tool and die shop, one that makes the tools used in automotive production to manufacture parts to ZERO tolerance. Such parts have to be stored a minimum amount of time at a specific temperature before measuring or the specs will be all out of whack. They also make tools and dies for most every commercial engine manufacturer in the U. S. of A. Go to the dentist, you will not see the company's name on the dental tools and machines, but rest assured in most of the world the tools and machines with which you are ground upon were more than likely created on machinery hand built in the shop I make my odd parts. Finest in the world. About the only finished products coming out of this shop are fulfilling a very old government contract--witness blocks. Witness blocks are used to test the terminal characteristics of things like warheads and ammunition, say, guided missiles from your typical tank or rocket launcher. Interesting products to watch in service, especially if you get to analyze the outcomes.

I made rotors and caliper mounts for my homebuilt airplane. No, nobody wants to make just a few rotors. Though rotors look like flat steel with a few holes machined, the tolerances are substantially more critical than most, so the hassles are exceedingly greater. Also, rotors must be made of an alloy that exhibits some modicum of corrosion resistance or they become quite jerky quite quickly and wear rapidly. Rotors must also be able to dissipate heat extremely well. Rotors must also resist degradation from rapid temperature changes, say, from riding in a 70mph breeze at freezing temps down a mountain road to glowing red hot from trying to stop before hitting a bear, then sprayed with icy water only kept from freezing solid by its motion. Missed the bear, though. Remember, if ever there is a bear in the road, aim for its butt because if the bear moves that will be the first place it vacates most of the time.

The tight clearances are difficult to machine on alloys tough enough to be brake rotors. Not a picnic.

I might need you to draw up and design the bracket! Hopefully I will get a suitable rotor made in Malaysia or something then eithr stock caliper n copper pads or the 4 piston caliper etc.

The tool and die shop belongs to my sister's husband. I can use CAD/CAM to make my own things, but our understanding is that for liability reasons any client's work must go through the shop's offices, engineers, draftsmen, and billing procedures. Unfortunately I am not permitted by company insurance to do design work for clients because I am not an employee of the company. U. S. of A. has way too many lawyers all looking for someone from whom to confiscate wealth. Therefore, such limitations are necessary to protect business owners' retirement plans.
