Boris0119, I hope my comment wasn't too sharp. Just having fun, you know. Sorry if I was a total dick. I'll frequently be kind of a dick, but if I fell into being a total dick, I apologize.

FWIW, I'm glad Scott/Hillside supports the Evo world. Even is S&S was still in the business, I'd think of Hillside as the better option.

As for S&S, my guess is they got to where they were selling 25 V111's for every rebuild job that came in. Their primary business is as a manufacturer, not a custom shop. I can understand why they made this decision.

My other thought is that, all things considered, it would be hard for me to justify a full rebuild of a stock Evo given the relative affordability of the 111. If your stocker gets worn out, get the S&S and put your stocker in the oven box the 111 came in. If by chance in the long distant future a numbers-matching Evo era bike is actually worth real money, you can always rebuild it and put it back.

It was not I am not a snowflake and I do not get offended. But thanks for the response.
Actually I am and old worn out COP. LOL Actually I was having the same kind of day yesterday, So my responses were made in the same vain.

Welcome back! You're actually in good company, so don't get anxious. Plenty of S&S supporters and users still in here.

Well, the "big deal" is I don't own a Knuck, Pan or Shovel, but I DO own an Evo. Get it?

I also like dealing with local businesses, but, seeing as I live in a village of 800 people, I'd own neither a guitar or a motorcycle if I was limited to local businesses.
