They posted up a bob carpenter ported head for a gen 1 busa for sale. I contact him or them. Guy gives me a story that bob carpenter built him a 1397cc that was only a few months old. He was parting out his bike because it was worth more in parts them complete and he was buying a house. Said the head looked brand new and sent me a few pics of the outside and intake ports.
I sent him the money and the deal went through. The head goes on the shelf in the garage waiting for cams and such. BusaBoyz1980 is on the Hayabusa forums and has been for some sometime so I think "im sure he is a good guy. Dont see anything bad about him."
So finally I get all the parts together and get everything to the tuner/builder. He sees the head and said it be best he tears it down to check everything out. It looked like it was more then a few months old. Well he finds one broke intake guidea and two cracked exhaust guides. Tuner says just sent it back to bob and have him fix it right. So I did!!
Of coarse I sent Busaboyz1980 a pm over on psychobike.com in which he claims its is brother. And of coarsed asked if they were gonna pitch in on the tab to fix it since its not what they claimed it to be. Needless to say I didnt get a response.
Bob calls me today. Said the head is trashed!! The head itself is cracked through too the water jackets around the guides. And the exhaust valve seals are hammered. Said the head basicly a boat anchor!!
So there's $1000.00 down the drain. For your own good avoid these crooks!
