It depends on what you are looking for? I personally would look elsewhere. The guy has some talent, but his business practices leave a lot to be desired.

That's putting it mildly! PM sent...

I agree. Very mildly.

I have dealt with spaz before and purchased some items off of him. I also spoke with him on the phone a number of times. I personally never had a problem with him. He seems to know his way around the busa motor very well and knows how to make some HP. I chose to deal with him and was very happy with the outcome of our transaction and will definitly deal with him again. The man has talent.

dealt with him once .... NEVER AGAIN

 

[m_ridgeway]

too much bad and too many people with good reputations to deal with. never have never will

I have never dealt with this company, but what I can gather from the link and what everyone else says I would not want to trust him with my hard earned money.

I just got some work done by him...no complaints whatsoever. Great work, quick turnaround, reasonable rates. I did a bunch of research on him too and only came across the one negative post, which Gixx1300R linked. Outside of that, I didn't see anything else. If it were an eBay rating, I'm thinking his would be relatively high. It'd be a shame if that one person has scared people away from him. Maybe it was because I got the chance to meet him personally and check out his setup, but dude knows his stuff. He even dropped my bike off at my front door when it was done. To each his own, but I would recommend.

So what did he do for you?

Before/after numbers? Mods? ???

 

[Goodwrench]

From what I've seen on Psychobike.com, they have an entire sticky for this guy. Not just one person with issues. go to psychobike and look at the numerous pages of people that had bad experiences with him before you make your final decision.

Ti-Force 4-2-1 Carbon Short exhaust
PCIII w/ map
Airbox Mod (GSXR short stacks)
Clutch Mod
Still yet to have it dyno'ed since the upgrades.


I saw the sticky on psychobike too. It looked like most of it centered around the one dude and his wheel he didn't get back and from some other comments, sounded like there was more to the story. Like I said before, just met the guy and I wasn't sending my bike halfway across the country like some people have. I don't live too far from him, so perhaps he takes better care of those that are "within reach". Being critical, if anything, he needs to hire on an assistant or something along those lines to help him with organization and follow-up. No complaints on the work thus far though. He's promptly responded to any and all questions I've had.

Go with your gut though. Seems as if there's a lot more guys on the scene doing the bore kits and that type of work. If you feel more comfortable with someone in your own geographical area...might not be a bad idea. I'm not vouching for him like in the mob, but I didn't have any problems with the work.

I have dealt with thousands of people and when someone doesn't get there way they turn to bashing one rep. And that's B.S.
