Well, the day started out $hitty

[Rocket3Pilot]

Does anybody know of a reputable place in the states that undercuts gears ?

I would think Michigan would be loaded with really good machine shops that would be able to do it?

When I was younger I would have relished the excuse to tear the engine apart but I have so many other interests now I just don't have the enthusiasm for it?

Don't forget to take lots of pictures as she comes apart! We all want pictures and it's way more fun when someone else is doing the dirty work.

This is the single most worrisome issue I find with the rocket. I too am considering trading in on an early Valkyrie just for the peace of mind although it would be more like riding a sewing machine.

I would like a place that does it regularly and understands the goal.

You could send them to Carpenter Racing: 856-753-1555 give them a call.

Well, here is what you can get done in 5 hrs. if you don't f_ck around much.

Took me 5 hours to balance my throttle bodies! Good job Fred!

They may be willing to sell you a complete set up. I'm working a 1/4 mile from their shop, I could stop by and talk to them if you like.

Call Carpenter and ask Bob who he sends them to. When I had my motor done, I had the gears undercut. I know he sent them out to be done.

And please report here -- I might want to purchase a set . . . just sayin'

I would imagine a new set of gears + undercut would easily be worth more than my bike was before it pooped the bed.

[Furrowed brow] While I understand that it cost four or five times -- not even counting the labor -- to assemble a new vehicle from the separate purchased parts -- I don't see how a set of gears could be anywhere near the cost of the vehicle, even well used -- unless I'm missing what you are saying.
