I work in the parcel industry,so I,d guess thrown not dropped or stood on.big up to PFS for stepping up to the plate,that,s sawdust in my eye honest. Geoff No shit. I literally almost hot my knees when I got the email that were shipping g a new kit. Like, it was NIT their fault, or their problem. I would have been only if they did nothing. Now shiiittt....I'm a walking g talking billboard for PFS.

We're struggling with FedEx for another customer right now too; they're completely overwhelmed. The customer wants to pick up their package at the FedEx facility, but no matter what we do FedEx won't let us make that happen for the guy because of COVID and a backlog in shipping, so it's not where it should be. He's unhappy, and I totally get it. I'm unhappy about it as well. I'm glad this one worked out anyway. You're very welcome. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Matt

What about a FedEx pick up/dropoff center? Best of both worlds?
The driver today refused to let my wife open the box before he speed offso she made sure to video the opening.God I love that woman

This may help PFS,I dunno? parcel company's don't have a storage system,so any influx of goods is palletised and stored in trailers,so the depot know they have it because it was scanned in but may not know exactly where in the depot or trailer park it actually is,it depends on each case but I would suggest sending out a replacement till the original turns up,but it,s not my££ on the line.

The verdict is in:
THIS KIT CANNOT BE BEAT FOR THE PRICE. THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN GET A BETTER KIT FOR THIS PRICE. PERFECT FOR FLIPS, OR LOW BUDGET BUILDS. Will always recommend this kit and PFS to anyone looking.

I'm with Geoff Give some Info on the Naraku it will help other builders . If you have a tach Giving us where the its power band starts and where it cuts out . Top speed before and after. Good to hear you got a winner.

Was a non runner before so .... BUT not my first Beamer. So here it is:
Stock:
Top speed 35-37 derestricted non rev limited.
Time to top speed ....eventually.
Now:
Top speed 40-42 all day easily, there's more there but I gotta look for it...
Time to top speed:hell if I know but it's a lot, A LOT peppier than before.
Wheelies all day. Almost threw me four times today. When the rain stops I will go for number five.
Using stock exhaust due to gasket issue but my God this thing is NASTY. On a lighter bike, this thing would scream. Seems to top about the same 9-10k with the Technigas and 9-9.8 with stock pipe but my tach is shit so.....
Only thing done to it other than the kit was a bigger carb, lightened the clutch, stiffer clutch springs, and the Honda blue CDI. Oh,and an 80 main jet needle center clip, stock pilot.
I am not sure where this cylinder is going to be happiest atbut I know it makes torque, and it's has a bit better top speed too. I'll dig into the vari tomorrow evening after work and see where the belt stops.
Because of the heavy raping I took on the car there will be no more parts bought for this bike. Sadly.

That does sound like a solid Kit I prefer acceleration over Top end any ways . Pulling away from Mean dogs fast is More important than eventually being able to go faster than they can run . When she loosens up in the next couple hundred miles you probably top out mid 40's.
Im glad you got a Win enjoy your new summer toy .

I'm glad you're happy with it. Just installed it in my Zuma, and when I have a chance I'll dial it in and get it running and we'll see where it stands with a Polini team3 pipe. Should be a midrange dank whoolie machine. Matt
