Didn't do any deep homework. Just a quick bit of mental addition. If that's a turnkey job you're not getting robbed. Go forward and be happy.

Post by: MadCVORG on January 25, 2012, 10:47:51 PM: If you're military, you've obviously heard of the phrase, 'Hurry up and wait.' We all have. But $2,100 for the parts and work you described is a good deal. Triple that if you're stationed in Germany.

Who are you getting to do your motor upgrade? Is this being done locally?

Price sounds good with ported heads.

Post by: MadCVORG on January 26, 2012, 07:03:00 AM: Try getting deployed. Bought my SERG at Bagram, had it delivered to AL, picked it up while on R&R. Rode it 2 weeks. Now I'm back here, and the dealer picked it up yesterday do upgrade the motor. Won't see it til June, and maybe a week if I'm lucky.

Post by: Smitty2u on January 26, 2012, 11:05:09 AM: I take it you've already done the exhaust and added a race tuner?
If that price includes a good Dyno tune, that price sounds very good.
T-Manns performance shop does a similar package for $1777 which does not include labor for teardown, reassembly, or dyno tune.

Post by: sadunbar on January 26, 2012, 11:15:11 AM: It's a fair price if in the hands of a competent wrench... A great price if it includes a tune. If it doesn't include a tune, you'll need that also. :2vrolijk_21:

Post by: CVO2FIXUP on January 26, 2012, 07:13:48 PM: I think it is to cheap!!! That is a lot of work, I bet the builder will ask for more $$ before you pick up the bike. Remember, you will have to change the oil 50 miles after the bike starts, and them again in 1000 miles. At which point you can switch back to synthetic. That will cost about $120.00 Did he work that in to the price? Just sounds to cheap to me. Cheers.

Post by: TANKS 250 on January 26, 2012, 07:46:36 PM: SCHWEEEET!,,,good to hear it sounds like an awesome deal.

He has been building motors for years...he doesn't do anything else but build motors....no tires, no transmissions...just engines...mostly race engines.

He worked at Klein Racing as an engine builder,...he kinda knows his stuff...

He built this engine...1:36

Post by: Billy Swift on January 27, 2012, 10:36:09 AM: i think you are missing a lot of info, a good tune alone is 500.00 bucks. i would be very leary. i am going thru similar build and my out the door price is not even close.

Post by: TANKS 250 on January 27, 2012, 12:14:08 PM: reread the first post...It doesn't include a tuner or a tune...engine work only(parts and labor)
