Anyone bought from Rick's..???

Some have, no comments received on quality.
I'd get one from Electrex - I know they are good.

Have to figure out away around customs duty. Last SD card for my Gps cost 75 in duty

Will check with local shop and see what they would charge me to bring it in

Checked electrex and they don't make one for the 88 ???
Talked to someone there and he said he could make one from a different bike Rr

Was this the case when other people bought???

I must be looking at the wrong site. I looked up electrex and it put me on to electro sport

The link posted earlier for electrex put me to a computer site

Could you post the correct one is it US and where is the company located

Thanks for the help

Yes but you'll get the VAT off the price as it's an export - 20%
Their postage is also realistic.

Don't you have anyone in the UK who can buy it and send it on as a gift ?

Installed new rr from Rick's and bike runs smooth and seems really fast and responsive but still won't idle properly when hot.

Gonna swap fuel pumps with my other bike and see if that helps.

I'll keep you posted!

Why not go with gravity feed and be done with it?

Hey Sprock,
I'm surprised you haven't started pimping stick coils here. Old coils when hot and all that. Now you've got them fitted to your trio don't you think the idle is better when the engine is very hot?
I'd be interested to know as I'm thinking sticks...... hot idle is a bit rough sometimes on my old girl but the head light on or off makes no difference.
How old is your battery John?
