Hey its your money but I would say that their response is full blown BS on being overwhelmed on orders and didn't expect to be busy. If that was the case why are you hearing it now and shouldn't you have some priority. They said that they were willing to work with you on customizing it a bit here and there but that seems very misleading to me.

I spoke with Josh Brasse and I don't doubt he's been very busy with his business. He's an inventor and has several other products he sales besides bike kits. So anyways, the delay is cause he's busy + I had him do some custom mods to the kit. He said it'll be shipped by next week.
It's not good business to take this long, however he's very responsive to my questions and sounds like a great guy so I don't mind the extra wait. |

Update: Spoke to Josh Brasse and he admits they are behind on production. He offered to send me their floor display kit (which I opted out on because I rather not be an a-hole and take away from any sells) and a discount for the delay. I'm thinking another 2 weeks until I get my 31BLK kit. I wonder who's ordering this kit? Doubt much from the West, most likely East countries since they're restricted to 250cc.
Anyways, while I wait I had time to install 3" wheels and 120 front tires as well as fender. Will install 4.5" wheels and 150 tires to the back plus tire hugger this week. |

Last time i put decent cash down on something and the builder kept putting out excuses i sounded a lot like you. "don't want to bother them any more", "i understand they are busy" "oh they just moved shops so they are behind, i can wait" blah blah blah HORSE ****!! Cock suckers filed chapter 7 bankruptcy and i was out $2500 nothing i could do about it but kiss it good bye. Should have asked for a refund after things went over time by several months and if they refused sued their @sses. Live and learn

You'd probably want the tire hugger too once since it matches the fender.

You are a very patient person. I would have asked for a refund the day after the original due date.
BTW, I am already impatient waiting for the pictures of your project |

LOL Trust me I'm impatient waiting to work on the project but there isn't a kit out there that remotely looks like the 31BLK kit. Definitely will upload pictures once I'm done.

Update: So I had time today and installed the 4.5" rear wheel along with 150/60/17 tire as well as the tire hugger. Love the look of the bigger tire than the stock ones.
The 31BLK kit by Josh Brasse has yet to be shipped. I'm thinking he probably has some supplier issues or just unprepared to cater in this sector since he can't give me an exact ETA. Good thing I bought it using my credit card and not Paypal. I can go back and dispute the charge if I never get the kit. |

Yes. No negative impact as far as I can tell. Positive is that I have more confidence in the corners due to more road contact. Plus, they're not stock tires so it doesn't feel like I'm riding on a block of wood.

I hope you don't get screwed over.. It seems pretty shady to me that he's taking forever! It's a shame because I really want to see you get this kit up and running!

Batman Backpack (for $300 I haven't decided if I should get it or not. lol) Update on 31BLK kit: He emailed me saying it'll take a few more days. I asked him to change the front for me. To make it mounted 180 degrees which will give it a more aggressive look. He said that'll take longer. I told him I've been waiting for 2 months. Longer isn't an issue at this point. *sighs* |

This is how it stands as of now. Still waiting on the kit and also will do a few other mods once I'm done with the kit. Definitely relocating the rear oil reservoir under the seat. The rear fender will be chopped off exposing the back wheel more.

The main thing is the front sprocket is lined up with a rim width of 3.5 inches, now you have 4.5 inches. So that is a half inch potential where the rear sprocket is outside the line with the front sprocket.

It is pretty simple, the plane that the front sprocket and rear sprocket on stock are in perfect alignment. With a wider rim, that also means the sprocket positioning on the rear will be wider also to accommodate the new width. The new position of the sprocket would put it outside the plane that the factory sprocket is on up to a half inch.

^ Wut he said.
Hub size and rim width are not necessarily 1:1. As long as the hub width is the same as stock, sprocket, axle, and rear brake caliper will line up just fine.

If you were going to a much wider wheel, or on a different bike, you'd definitely want to check out the spacing details at the hub and rim to ensure that the chain will clear everything and line up. But it is possible (as seen with these PnP replacements) to make a wheel to take a wider tire without altering the other details of the drive/wheel - making the wheel 1" wider at the tire doesn't necessarily force the sprocket over 1/2".

I have also talked to Joshua Brasse :-(
Quote:
To make a very long stry short, I have designed a table that is for sale on the Ideacious website. The table reached production stage a few months before christmas. Every pre-orderer (including myself) paid 1450$ and expected everything to be good. When I was to approve everything for production, the materials was of worse quality than previously agreed upon etc. We agreed to roll back the product to pre-order status again... Josh seems like a very nice guy when you talk or write with him, but apparently he is not very good with handling other peoples money! To my knowledge I am the only one of about 12-14 people that has received full refund. some has received 400-600$ and some nothing. This has been going on for about 8 months!!! He has come up with so many excuses about how he was too busy and how there was a special backend programming problem etc etc etc. To this day he still has "available now" status on my table! I do not know if he is still taking orders and keeping the money. Please beware of this man and do not trust him to handle your money. NinjaZX6R, I hope you get your product or your money! best regards Julian Kyhl |
