hercalmighty Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 There is a local builder in my area that alot of local racers swear by. I was just wondering if anybody has heard of them or has used them. Quote
dajogejr Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 There is a local builder in my area that alot of local racers swear by. I was just wondering if anybody has heard of them or has used them. Perfect timing....check this out. http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?...mp;#entry899008 Quote
hercalmighty Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Posted November 25, 2008 Yeah I've been reading that post. I had my forks and shock on my YZ426F revalved by them and I know a bunch of guys that get work done by him. Was just wondering if anybody on here has gotting anything done by VPE. I checked his prices and he is twice as much as Kevin and Jeff so I was looking to see if the results were worth the money Quote
dajogejr Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 Factor in Jeff's wait time, Kevin's wait time....and local drop off vs. shipping. In a perfect world, the three builder's bikes could line up next to each other...that just doesn't happen. I can tell you with 100% certainty Kevin and Jeff are both very fairly priced. They are in the middle. By no means the cheapest or most expensive.... Both pretty good guys to talk to, I might add... Quote
hercalmighty Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Posted November 25, 2008 If they weren't good guys they would not have the rep that they have on here. I was just wondering if any body had work done by VPE to see if they liked it or not. On the web site it said 700 for stage I porting and 1200 for stage II porting. Now what kind of porting that is I dont know but I know I can get a 4mil built by Kevin for less then the stage II porting by VPE Quote
dajogejr Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 Yeah, I'd bet for 1200 you could get a 4 mil crank and porting to match, as well as cut domes...damn near. That's a little steep for my opinion... Quote
hercalmighty Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Posted November 25, 2008 Thats why I'm asking around about VPE's work. When I got the suspension done the price was right and he did a great job. It would be great if we could get a motor form each builder and run them against each other. Like say we have each one build a 4mil stock cylinder motor and put it in a stock frame with a +4 swinger. Just do it for shits and giggles Quote
