Hello,
Been reading this forum for the last 4 days now. Been an awseome jurney through the 202 pages of comments and ideas. I love this bike, even without riding one. Haha I have learned a lot about the bike. I ordered one last week. From a dealer here in canada. Been told shipment from factory is arriving first week in August. I should have it second week as I'm a 4 day delivery away from my closest dealer.
When I ordered the bike I used their web page and was able to apply a pre order code for a discount( sweet) the one thing I'm now have questions about is I had no were to select options like forks ect.. only color options. (Picked grey) I got a email in to the dealer with the question about options. I'm sure I'll get something back once open again on Monday.
Update: heard back first thing Monday. They only sell the bike what comes from factory. This shop only has factory replacement parts.
He also mentioned he knew of a few places doing upgrades on the bikes. He was going to send me some info.
I will share if anything come out of that. Nice to have other options.
I've heard that the new bikes coming from factory(like mine as I was told) will come with all the upgrades.. cool.. what would those all be? Anyone have a recent buy of the bike?
I also have decided to do a few upgrade once I receive the bike. I'll be looking for a 52T. I've read so much on here about luna and others making sprockets. Can I get one deliverd to Canada from one of you guys? I'm looking at sur-ron USA has them as well as Luna. Also how many link chain would I buy? To fit the 52 or 55. ~
I have been following the chat about tires as well. I may be mistaken but I can't find a shinko 241 in a 3.0×19. all websites I look at don't have that size??
Brake pad... I like the price of the alligator pad compared to shamano. Can some tell me what alligator pads work in a stock caliber? I thought I saw someone using an alligator pad but might not have been on here tho. Think he mentioned he had to trim one of the heat sinks.
Just thought I'd sign in and start chatting.
Thanks for the great content and I have gained a lot in the last 4 days. Any saskatoon riders?
