6 weeks? It never takes me 6 weeks to get Ride Wrights to my customers. Usually 4 at the most. But then again I know Sam well.

yep, if I'm not mistaken, one of the guys from Samson even said on here that he couldn't touch Drew's pricing....

Yea that's cool but that's just what I gathered from the DNA peoples post. All I know is Sam will never get a penny from ever again. All it takes is one bad experience to ruin a rep.

Good price? Or does it sound like it should be negotiated?

Thanks!
studiopec, I put DNA Mammoths on my Deluxe with rotors, New brake pads for about $850 from KC International. The wheels are flawless. No issues. I did put tubes in just for my own peice of mind.

It sucks you had a problem with Ride Wright Bobber. I deal with a lot of aftermarket companies daily and Ride Wright is one of the most stand up companies I have ever dealt with which is why I sell their products.

They make doing business a pleasure, whether it be for the shop or personal.

If I had to do it all over again, I would have gone with the Ride Wrights, from Dr. V-Twin. I got the DNA's off Ebay, and so far they look great, but I'm having wheel spacing issues. I'm waiting on a set of chrome spacers before I can continue. The front wheel on my Deuce is about a 1/4" off with the DNA wheel and the caliper isn't close to fitting. So now I spent about $65 from Demons for the spacer kit, $15 from a hardware store for misc. shims and I still have to space the rear pulley, so probably another $65 for that. I love the wheels, but the spacers are a pain in the a$$. I could make my own spacers, but they won't be chrome. At $60/hr shop rate, it's cheaper for me to just buy spacers than make them. I should have spent the extra money upfront for something that was just plug and play. I'm sure I'll feel better once their on, but I haven't even started the back wheel yet and I'm already aggravated!

I got the Ride Wright's everyone. Should be here next week.

I have a big charity ride in Vermont the second week in May and the week before, I will get my bike back reassembled with the newly painted tins, new accessories, new cables, new wheels, rotors, and tires.

Man I don't like having all that done the week before a huge ride but if it isn't I miss the ride and it was pre-paid and not cheap.
