My carb and head should be back tomorrow and then I'll only be waiting on the cables for my apes. Do y'all recommend drilling out the gas cap right away to avoid performance issues or waiting to see if it's needed?

Some of the bikes had the issue not all, mine didnt have the vapor lock issue. I'd say do it anyway as a just in case. you will be happy all getup when you get your "Dream Weaver" (LoL) mods :thumbsup:
once mine is installed, cant seem to want to give up my bike for a day let a lone a week :lol8: I will be getting it Dynoed and report the findings. there is talk from a Heist rider in AZ that his bike is hitting 117mph after the port polish and milling. Until I see real world proof :deal: I'll live to dream :icon10:

I think I'll pass on that. This thing is so light and all over the place at 70, that anything reminiscent of control will be nonexistent.

Surely that's 117 kilometers per hour, not miles per hour, as 117 kph is just under 73 mph. Sounds about right.

no sir stated in mph my bike fairly stock hits 80mph fully throttled or 130kmh
that Tom Weaver is a genius or what I started referring to him as tha Professor

Was out riding by a lake the other day, couldn't help but to stop and snap a few photos on my cell

Hey Guys couple questions for ya. I tightened up the chain, drilled the gas cap to prevent any problems, and was also pulling all the emissions crap off the bike. The Vent on the bottom of the fuel tank, can it be capped off? Also has anyone changed sprockets? if so what did they use and how was it?? Gonna be another beautiful weekend, time to put some more miles on the bike!

i actually ran the hose all the way up to the front of the bike to get more air flow into the tank. Will need to take some pics to show you guys. As far as sprockets go I am adding a 16t front to test it out

Happy riding bro

Mirror is on :) i'll take a better picture tomorrow! So pumped http://i717.photobucket.com/albums/w...-50-38_650.jpg

MK2 liking the whole look. Nice roll bag too

Bar end mirrors are by far better! My stock mirrors shook so much while riding they were useless. This one shows all the road behind me and doesn't shake anywhere near as bad. Imo way better

I am looking to purchase rha heist within the next few weeks.

My dealer is asking for shipping and installation fees on the purchase.

I'm cueious if someone will share what the price o their bike was out the door.

I'm looking at a total of about $4,500.

Appreciate your feedback.

I paid 3800 otd, My buddy just bought one today, same deal 3800otd!

I bought his first one in stock at 3981 otd.

I guess more importantly did you have to pay POD?

Point of delivery charges like buying a car and assembly fees. Looking at the above prices looks like I am paying an additional $700.

Just trying to find if I am paying reasonable fees for the bike.

Looming forward to getting to ride it!

Which dealer are you looking to get your bike from? I know PDI is a charge on the bike but not POD

Ok guys here's a new video up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ev18MhL9SE0

Did a lot of riding this weekend and am close to 4300 km or almost 2700 miles on the Widow :riding:
Great weekend and a bit more sunburn on the arms

Just may have to ride into work tomorrow in NYC :naughty:

Ride Safe guys

My mistake, it's PDI.

The dealer is Boss Hoss in Harbor City.

Just want to make sure i am paying what I should be. I know Boss Hoss is a reputable dealer.

Just seems a little high!

David

wow love the knuckle handlebars! nice

Just out of curiosity, what's the difference between "Tha Heist" and the Kikker 5150 "HardKnock" ? Does anyone know the street legal status of the "HardKnock"? I'm looking to get my first bike. My gut says go with "Tha Heist", but my eyes won't quit looking at the kikker 5150 "HardKnock". Plz Help

"Tha Heist" you just walk into your Local Dealers door and ride out with a fully functional and registered scoot that is 50 State Legal and has a great support network ( for parts and whatever else that you might need )... The Kikker you have to find a dealer and then assemble it yourself,,, hope that you get a MSO from Kikker,,, then have it inspected at you local DMV and hopefully the State of Alabama will register it for you and not pull your tag a couple months down the road when they find out it's not a EPA legal motor... It's a crap shoot with the Kikker on getting everything to make it street legal and "tha Heist" is a sure thing ( like I said above you walk in with check/money in hand and ride out with a fully registered bike (temp tag) )... I have researched both to no end and that is my findings...

I hope that helps

That's why I went with Tha Heist, I didn't want to deal with all the bullshit to get legal, I just want to ride.

The big difference is that the Heist is 50 state legal like WK2 stated. Now lets get into the nitty gritty. The Heist has a better stronger frame, larger wheels, bigger motor, support out the wazzoo, and with cash in hand you can ride day 1, as long as you have all the legit documents, out the dealers door.
the price point I think is fair
3195 MSRP + PDI prep + and sales tax

I have had my scoot now for a little better than 3 months and have been documenting everything on this bike, good and bad. I also created a FB group, which some of the guys here are members, covering everything that has been experienced with the bike as of today. I am just at 2700 miles on my Widow. I do a considerable amount of riding on my lil horse and she hasn't let me down.
So Count if you have any questions this is the place to ask.
There is also a lot of different mods out there for the Tha Heist. This bike is a canvas waiting for an Artist.

MSRP nationwide is $3195 +Tax, title, registration and insurance. All other fees should be negotiable...

Seems alright, if I change my exhaust I will adjust as need. It really seemed to change the power band on it though, I think I'm getting to 55mph pretty quick but it takes a bit to top out. My pipe went black but I'm going to put something else on eventually so it doesn't matter.
