Wrecent... did you ever get around to getting a crank breather filter?

If not let me know... I may have one for you for cheap.

No, it was just last week I finally got around to removing the gas tank (to install the 1/5th throttle) and measured the silly tube. 11mm, neither here nor there in inches, of course, just like the fuel lines. 3/8 inch would fit (somewhat loosely)  the existing hose, or I could clamp down a 1/2" hose on the valve cover and use a filter that size...

Whatch got? Or we can take this off-line to PM to keep from boring everyone else.

Still getting made ... too many people asking on PM's ... I have been swamped with some other issues, but plenty left ... believe I have right ~10 and am making 20 ... Once they are done ... the first ones to pay up get it ... and thanks to those who have paid and are waiting patiently ... In any case its not probably holding up your riding season ... so just sit tight and its comming. man I wish I had the time ... work went insane the last month ... as did personal life and extraneous sheite ...
Cool.
Srinath.

Thanks for the update  :bowdown:

Wrecent_Wryder: if you'll scroll up a couple pages you'll see a reply to me stating $50 would cover the shipping. that was $40 for the flange, $8 to ship, and $2 to cover the paypal cost. I was under the impression that was an OK price for everyone in the US. That's the total I sent him.

I sent him a check for $50.00. I figure Srinath deserves the extra $2 bucks for the hard work even if the shipping is only 8 bucks. It's just so painful waiting for the flange while the wileyco is smiling at me next to my bed.....

Ok, so I sent a round $50, PayPal.  I thought the last he actually said was to hold off, but I can just see this turning out to be a game of musical chairs if they finally appear and suddenly more people want them.

Hey, just because every time Srinath posts it's more pessimistic than the last, and he has more things ahead of it in his priorities, you're getting discouraged after not even three months (quite)?  So impatient.

Actually, I've been toying with the idea of ordering two- if something were to happen to one, I don't think I'd live long enough to go through this again.... maybe it's a sales tactic.


:icon_rolleyes: I hope that is a tongue in cheek sort of joke. Srinath has no real obligations to have to create these (until he accepted the money, that is). He is doing it as a favor to the GStwin community. Granted he is slow...REAL slow.. :laugh:..but still. Silly accusations aren't going to get him moving any quicker. I doubt he is making much - if any - profit. I bought one from him a while back and he was real good about it.

There is no reason you can't find some metalworkers to create one for you. Take the wileyco to the local machine shop and ask them to make an adapter flange for it. It will cost you a lot more than $50 I am sure, but you never know.
Richard died in a motorcycle accident that was at no fault of his own.  We lost a good friend and good member of this board.  Though Rich may be gone, his legacy will live on here.

Up to the top..

Waiting for any news on the flanges.

When he came by last week, he said pretty much the same thing. I got mine last year around this time,though.

I'll buy anybody's Wileyco if you don't want to wait around for Srinath.  I have a local welder friend that said he'd do it up right quick for me, but doesn't want to do one without verifying correct fit on their particular bike.

Man ... I got samkang's ... what your name ??? PM me if you want to stay as snappy ...
I am doing them next week. The laser shop sent it to a guy that was going to hand cut the inner oval ... and he said he'd have it done next week early. I can get it and start welding it.
Cool.
