Sure.  Fully licensed owner & operator of 1 or more mirrors.  Location of mirrors not given, due to decorum.

Ken, see what happens when you try and talk to a dealer about anything other than just giving them azzpiles of money.

I am not the smartass, dumbass yes, certainly, smartass, nope....

YEa, and after reading through this thread again..I best call them and ask about injectors. They don't volunteer ANYTHING.

Went by the dealership today, and went over throttle bodies. They all looked at me like I grew two heads. After talking to a few people, I finally got them to call Jim's. They finally agree, your throttle body is too small. Can you say Dugh Huh?  Jim's is 6 weeks out getting one, so ordered a 60mm from Zippers. Three day delivery.

argh....     Not that it won't prove out as a good choice....after my experience with them, I hate seeing anyone give them money for anything...  What injectors come in this t/b?

Argggg.   After unzipping the red bike the only piece left from the original Zipsaster is the 50mm throttle body.  It actually worked fine.  Couldn't justify throwing it away just because they were dinkii (dinkuses?).  But feel the same way Scott.  If given a choice I'd spend elsewhere. 

Choice of three days or six weeks isn't much of a choice though.  Wonder if HPI or Gerolamy had anything?

I felt the same way bout Zippers guys. I wasted $1,000 with them myself. BUT, the guy had already had them on the phone before I knew what was happening.

If the price is competitive and they've got it now that beats hell out of six weeks.  It's not like you're relying on them for anything more than shipping the part.  If you find yourself needing to do something with injectors might check out this shop:

Ken,

I would strongly recommend the HPI as the one to go with over the other choices you have discussed thus far.

Did they ever get the problem with their throttle shafts breaking taken care of?

Don't know! Mine never broke. Plenty of other chit broke on the bike, but not my throttle shaft!

Hoist!

It was a couple of years ago.  Heard of quite a few of their TBs breaking shafts.  They were always reported to be good about replacing them and saying sorry for the hassle.  The reports died down though so figured they must have solved the problem.
