I feel your pain. I've been waiting a month and a half for mine. I was hoping to have my bike ready for the death race on 4/16. Terry from BlowByYou said he would let me know asap when they come in.
Youre right I didnt put it in the cart, might have been too tempting! In the past they had the out of stock notice on the display. Must be waiting on the new oneways?
darn...i might just have to get one from ebay (boy go fast). why isnt there any 4g kit sellers on ebay?
I got one from BGF. I'm not happy with the crummy little chain reduction they come with.
Single row#25 chain, and the 3.25 ratio is too tall. I bought a 56 tooth sprocket tp replace the kit supplied 44 tooth. Still too tall, shoulda bought a 60 tooth. Gotta pedal to take off, and it tops out too fast, about 42mph.
I converted ithe chainbox to oil bath pretty successfuly. The bearings fit kinda loose in the too lightweight housing, and was allowing oil to leak into the clutch until I bedded the bearings in silicone,and drilled a weep hole in the bottom of the clutch compartment.
Ran good like this for about 200 miles, no chain wear at all , with the oil bath.
The clutch started chattering and killing the engine at the low idle I'm using.
Turns out that the housing around the clutch bell bearing is too light, and was wallowed out.
I cleaned it up and bedded the bearings in JB weld, and filled in around the bearing boss too.
Time will tell how long this will last.
THe BGF kit is a good deal though, great little motor , just buy a good tranny for it and you'll be happy. I bought my kit on sale at Christmass, for$183.
I think you can still get a Grubee box for around$100.

humm, thanks for the warning. i do have little options at hand, if i could find a 4g kit for around 350 ill buy it, but there not going to be here for a wile...
i wonder if DAX is going to be coming out with his in-frame 4cycle kit soon?

i built a BGF 4cycle ebay kit for my brother for xmiss, and he has almost 100hours on it and is it working fine, pretty good compared to my 2cycles that ive had in the past... IDK maybe that gearbox isnt to bad, but the 4g is better....
well i have a little money to invest so y not build 2-3 of them. sell some and build some of them same or better...i will be talking to some of the EZ dealers and also DAX to see when he might have a 4 cyc inframe kit...Since when did we start talking about two or more? Talk to some of the EZ dealers here, they are very nice, helpful people who will do everything in their power to help you build instead of robbing you blind
all options on the table
I have a Dax Super Titan and his $40 gear box. 3.25:1 ratio. I'm a buck & a half and i just give crank or two of the pedals and I'm off & running. I have almost 100 miles on it right now and I'm really happy with it. Starts right up & runs like a bat out of ****. 56 tooth sprocket is very fast, I'm glad I got rid of the 40t. It was a good compromise between a BGF on the low side and an EZ on the high (cost wise).
The super Titan with this gearbox will want to sit out on the right side a bit in order for the sprockets to line up, you might have to drill an adapter plate to mount it.
Lots of torque, I would definately get the Manic Mechanic hub adapter!

but the holes on the hub are way large, does anyone know where i can get spokes for this? because my local bike shop cant find them...
