Powerline Performance

Driving home from Ogden Utah with a dynojet I just bought. Well I'm not driving, Thomas is, I'm just the $$ guy. Pretty excited to start the next chapter of my business in 2019!

I've got 2 stock stroke cranks and 1 4mil 115mm rod crank done and ready to ship. All cranks are rebuilt with Hot-Rods rods and bearings. Comes with wrist pin bearings and crank seals. All crank are trued and welded.

50/50 split. Either they have no problem spending good money, or they want to know why everyone pays $200 for a new pwk when you can get copy of one off eBay for $69.95. My daily struggle. But... Since I've been getting back into 4poke stuff I'm here to tell you, them guys ain't much better. "you want me to pay you 8 hours shop labor to rebuild my 450 if I take the motor out of frame?" "Yeah bro, there 2,072 bolts in your 450 and a whole valve train that has to be sorted out" YouTube videos make it seem like it takes 10 minutes to rebuild a motor. Lol!

That is the drag of being a business owner on Facebook. I constantly have to watch what I say to people. I'm getting busy enough motor work wise, that I've started to turn away ATV maintenance work as I just don't have the time to do it. Most of the time I tell people they can bring it in, but it will be at least 2 weeks before I can touch it. That sometimes sends them off the deep end, and according to them, I'm an asshole and feel they are not worth my time. Things get taken out of context of misconstrued quickly on Facebook. It's like some people are on there just to ruin other people's day. This is the main reason I've kinda backed down off of alot of the pages. When people start pitting shop owners against each other and creating an environment where you are constantly defending yourself for no good reason at all... well, it kinda makes you want to pull the plug and just not give a shit about people.

The only upside to Facebook selling, well for me anyways, is I can reach a huge audience very quickly. Prime example, I just posted a set of dune port cylinder I just finished up, with pistons and fresh bore to my facebook business page. Then I shared it to 3 other pages. in a half hour they were sold to one of my local customers who couldn't pass up the bargain, and now I'm having conversations with 2 other guys who want to send me core cylinders to do up for them. This... of course, is a abnormal occurrence... Most of the time when I post stuff up like this people kick the shit out of the tires, or tell me my price is too high. Then they tell me about their cousins, neighbors, uncles, dogs, grandfather who builds the baddest banshee motors on the planet. And proceed to send me pictures of them rebuilding a motor on a tire in some back alley somewhere. soooo.... I got luck tonight

I have people that call me daily at the shop to ask questions Google or Siri could answer in 10 seconds. You are not alone in you wonderment. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Lol! You sound like 3/4 of my customers! My wife really likes it when I attempt to pay attention to her and not business on my day off. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I'm getting there... I spent a whole Sunday a couple weekends ago with my phone on "do not disturb" it was blissful!

As a business, Facebook is an easy tool to use to cross post 1 item over many different pages. Lately I've really pumped the brakes a many of the pages though. Facebook has become a tool for the public to gain access to a direct line to me, any day, at any time. Which seems like a great idea... Until its Sunday and I'm trying to enjoy some family time or nap it out on the couch with the dogs and my phone wont stop. It has become a double edge sword that i constantly cut myself with...

Powerline Performance offers cylinder resizing at a very affordable cost, and super quick turn around. $330 gets you both cylinders resized with brand new Wiseco pistons and free return shipping in the US. Average turn around time is 3-4 business days from day of receiving customers cylinders. Boring is done on a Kwik Way FWH small engine boring machine with a carbide cutter, cylinder is bored to 0.003 of finish size. The cylinder is then honed 0.002 with with a Sunnen JN hone and 150 grit stone, then finished the last 0.001 with 280 stone in same hone mandrel. Ports are then chamfered, edges are knocked off the top and bottom of the hole. You can find all the details on how to get your stuff to me and how to pay on my web store PowerlinePerformance.net

No worries bud, half of these characters I've already been dealing with on Facebook for years. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
