Rearsets look nice too. but a bit pricey at $500....

What do you think of the custom plastics? I like the tail a lot better than the stock rc shape, and the front scoop is growing one me, u dont see it 2 often.............

I have ordered form him in the past, and I would rate the transaction as good at best.
It's hard to get him to reply to emails.

He told me shipping would take a week, and it was a month before it showed up. ( so don't be in a hurry to get what you order)

However I will say this his products are cool and they are very well made. Also I would order from him again, but just know that it will take a bit to get it.

Anyway that's my

I bought a set of carbon fiber radiator scoops from him. Shipping was okay, considering how far it has to travel. I've come across a number of his products, and they are all top notch! You'll have better luck getting ahold of him through is web site. He's told me he doesn't check his pm's here much!

I highly endorse Thorsten Durbahn. I have nothing but good experiences with all of the products I've bought from him. The quality of his swingarm conversion sleeve, superlite alternator/flywheel and his superlight invisible rear brake caliper have all been top shelf ! Give him a shot.

I appreciate all the impute. It looks like you can convert the whole dam bike from his website although it will cost you $$$.

What does everyone thing of the fuel tank conversion, lossing the tail section and replacing the tank with a dummy tank?

I bought a bunch of stuff from him without any problems. His English isn't so strong so his directions aren't even usable and I'd be happy if that was the only problem I had with other vendors. If u want to order from him, I highly suggest you do so cuz you won't be let down.
