Would that be Long Beach, China?
I bought one of these and it's a typical HT engine kit. The quality of the engine is better than the one I got from PCC Motors, if that's really saying much.
The main reason I ordered it from sun-thing28 is he was one of the very few who would ship to California. It arrived complete and undamaged, but be warned it will take every bit of the 8 weeks he says to get here. Mine took 61 days. Apparently the "slow boat to China" really does exist and it's carrying China Girl engines. BTW, I couldn't leave feedback because you only have 60 days and that expired by the time I got it. But I probably would have left positive feedback.
DB, you're probably in the same boat I'm in trying to find a vendor that doesn't run away crying and screaming at the mention of the word "California." I'm going to end up using this engine for a project, but if I were to do it again, I think I would just talk to the few local vendors like Venice Motor Bikes or Motovello who aren't afraid to sell to Angelenos.
