Like i said I bought my kit from him and it was just like everyone elses. I screwed up the install which could have happened with any kit it was the crappy directions that everybody uses.

the clutch handle is trash but most of them are and its a simple five buck replacement with a brake leaver to fix. I screwed up the throttle handle but that was also my fault way to heavy handed.

I would buy from him again if that is any recommendation but frankly it think all the kits are about the same.

BoyGoFast is perfectly fine... He sells the same kits as everyone else!

Not the greatest service as I understand though.

my bicycle motor kit from boygofast was not as described on the ebay ad and his response was sorry and did not send parts that were advertised to be with the engine kit. i and others have invited him to be part of the forum to help answer questions and teach members. he has never opted to do so. i personally would rather spend a few bucks extra and get what i paid for and service after the sale

I got my Kit from Him, his shipping to Canada was a week, damn fast. The kit is the same as elsewhere, although it does have larger fins, 8mm cylinder studs and needle bearings on the connrod, pretty standard these days.

I wasnt happy with the exhaust though, it's the Black one and it's welded so you cant take it apart. All in all, I think I got what I paid for.

I bought from him, too, with no issues or complaints. Fast shipping and good communication. I did not go to him for support, though...came to the (other) forum instead. (Didn't know about this one).

I would purchase from him again, however, I'm finally hearing some REAL reasons to go with Dax - for example, I understand he balances the flywheel for a smoother run, etc. Too bad he doesn't make those points on his terrible website - I would have paid more to purchase a better machine now that I understand more...but then again, his delayed shipping and fee to get it in a week edged me over to BGF in the end. It all worked out.

Just put together a boygofast 50cc. me and two of my techs at work installed it in an afternoon. kit came with everything. i threw the chain gaurd out. seems to work ok although its on a mountain bike and there is quite a bit of vibration. i also am having a little trouble getting the carb to run at idle. but for two days i'm fairly happy. i'm not sure about the kill switch though, but its not really an issue. overall i would say i got what i paid for and the shipping to Canada - BC. was fast. I think on a slow day in the shop i'll go to work on isolating the mounts somehow

I bought my kit from boy Go Fast and saved some. The clutch handle was modified to stay disingaged by filing a deep grove in the handle.

I just purchased a couple motor kits from Boy Go Fast. I wouldn't repeat this mistake. On the first motor the clutch control broke on the first pull. Had to replace it with the one from the second kit which also doesn't work very good. There is not enough travel between being fully engaged to where it is locked to be able to get a decent adjustment of the clutch.
The cylinder head castings are very rough looking. I can see what I believe are the head bolts where there are holes in the castings.
Also the mufflers wouldn't fit the bike I was installing the motor on.
I was mounting this motor on a Schwinn Point Beach cruiser and there was no conceivable way that I could think of to bend this muffler to the right shape to fit without the pedal hitting it. I had to replace the muffler with one that I had from a different vendor.
Chain tensioner is the cheap no bearing type.
I've yet to figure out where the very loud whining noise is coming from when the clutch is engaged.It sounds like it's coming from the clutch area.
As you can probably tell I am totally disgusted with this motor kit. I'm hoping the second one is somewhat better. Done venting.
