06-24-2012, 04:50 PMYeah, I guess Gardo's statements in that post took me by surprise as i'd never heard him go off on it like that. It's been mostly that he couldn't register it.
I almost owned a Heist last week but the dealer pulled a fast one on me. Sometimes I'm glad I have eagle eyes. Though I will still be getting a Heist, I almost went for the DF and it was what I found first online- the bike and this forum. There are a few reasons I wanted the DF- clearly the cost for one. Part of me likes the fact it's got black rims and engines covers as Florida sucks the life out of chrome. Painted rims easy to touch up over rusting chrome. Part of me liked the fact it was so cheap I would feel less guilty tearing into it :) a project bike. I wasn't looking forward to the possible gas tank leak though. I was seconds away from ordering the DF a few days ago when the Universe suddenly allowed me to try for another Heist. I'd love to own both actually. Just don't know what I could sell around the home for that money.

Man that was like 15 months ago, and I was hot. Since then i have cooled down. I think some of the stuff you folks have done with the DF is great. I LOVE my Heist but there is room for all these small displacement machines.
I have over 13000 miles on my Heist. the Widow has been nothing but good to be some small issues from time to time but nothing some time in the garage didn't correct. Hell back in march I rode it from outside NYC to Daytona FL for Trailer Week...er Bike Week (lol) and back, 3000 mile round trip. Two weekends ago I rode up to Cleveland OH. In comparison 95 is so much better a road than Rt 80

I do love how that exhaust is routed. I would love to be able to use my kick start, something to think about in the future.

O.K. so my next question is.. do I really need the switch at all. I have only found a replacement Honda (used) lever with a switch on it. But have found tons of others without the switch. I have a habbit of putting the bike in neutral before i start it.. and honestly..does the switch even work.
We the cable broke.. I attempted to start it in gear.. and it would but then stall... I fianlly started it in neuatral.. rolled it a bit while on it..and kicked it into first and she rode off ..luckily I was only a couple blocks from the house, so i rode in first until I got home with it.
So again I ask.. do I really need the switch?

Very cool.
In my wonderings looking for this clutch lever... I ran across a place called http://gokartsusa.com/Tha-Heist-Bobb...ent-Parts.aspx
They have all kinds of parts for the heist. I was wondering.. do these parts work with this bobber. I tend to think they arer about the same bike.. are they? I see discussions all over .. and maybe Gardo would know seeing as how he has both.
I think it would be real cool if these parts were interchangable.. but I do not want to just purchase based on trial and error.

06-26-2012, 01:46 AMI almost have my bike complied here in New Zealand. They just require one more form a PDI pre delivery inspection report. A checklist from factory to say all was checked ok before delivery. Has anybody received anything like this with delivery of their bike. I will try contacting the factory but I think that will be a long shot, might have to get creative with making one
