Default Big Boyz Turnaround

Those of you who have used Big Boyz for boring / head porting, what was your turnaround time?

Less than 2 weeks including shipping between North Carolina and Maine. Call and talk to Bean. He'll work with you to meet your needs.

1 week for me........but I only live an hour away and I dropped them off and picked them up myself.


As stated, call Bean..........he is more then willing to discuss the build and help in anyway he can.

Cincinnati V-Twin Expo.

Hi,

I just read this thread. We tried to let everyone know that we would be in Cincinnati for the V-Twin Expo from Feb 3 to Feb 9 and any heads recieved would be done when we returned.

I just went through all the emails and paperwork trying to determine who you are and if they are done. As far as NC is concerned, if you are in Monroe, NC they were shipped last week. If not, please give us a call ASAP. We are in the port shop until 9pm tonight or can be reached at the Bike shop during the day.

If you only sent cylinders from Fuquay Varina, they are on their way back.

THANKS
