That's too bad he does not give credit where credit is due. He did list this forum as a good place to get further info (it's how I found you guys BTW), but bummer he does not credit his info correctly. Communities like this one are small and tight, and pissing off others is usually bad all around. For what it's worth, I did recognize some of the tips he sent as having come from this forum.
With respect to shipping, I got my stuff quickly.
With respect to communication, he did not answer any questions I had post receipt. In fact, when I purchased the item, he offered $5 if I sent him photos of the finished work. I did send him the photos, more because I just wanted to help out a fellow businessperson than for the $5. (But have not heard anything since...not even a 'thanks')
I do feel that for $100 + shipping, with absolutely no starting knowledge of what would make this bike sound and function better, I got a pretty fair deal.
I think it would be cool if someone on this forum offered a similar product (newbie performance upgrade kit) and in such a way that the forum could provide "crowd sourced" assistance in installation. There is also no doubt that this guy's product could be improved on: 1. The slip on exhaust is a bit short and does not have bend in it. A ~7 degree bent ~10" long connector and clamp would be great. 2. Some bracket for the side cover to fasten onto, once the airbox is gone (or maybe nothing is needed, just a tip on how reconfigure once the cone filter is in place. I just dumped the airbox, side covers, and mounted the terminal box in place of the tools. not sure what options are here...)
I would certainly have bought something like that...and bet that others in my place would too...
