LOL! I knew that question would come up sooner or later. I ordered it Friday March 21st and it came in May 2nd...... So 6 weeks. I made a few follow up calls after it didn't show up week 4 and John was always friendly and informitive reguarding the build. I do have to say, it is a nicely put to gather hard tail and fit perfect. I am going to scrap the whole front part of the stock frame and continue to build off the Ardtail with 1.5DOM up to the neck and put in a single down tube as well. The stock frame is just too much of a mess to clean up and putting in a couple pieces of new pipe would be much quicker and easier than cleaning up the mess....... Plus with a couple bends and a bit of extension it will look a lot better than the stock frame. That will all be part of the next video so stay tuned

I agree! Man awesome start and sweet video. I'm looking forward to seeing your frame you build off the Ardtail - great idea

Can anyone chime in on venting a new gas tank...... I like the non vented caps but that requires me to vent the tank in some other way..... any suggestions?
