So if I wanted to source levers from George, and I need them shipped, how do I pay him, out of curiosity? I know he's a cash-only guy and I have to call him on the telephone. Do I just mail him a check? EDIT: Just going to give him a call and see what he says.
Ok, calling George was a bad idea. Great guy, but I'm going to go broke. ARC levers, throttle tube, and he's going to make me something up to lower my rear brake lever.
More details on this please. Is this a lowered foot pad that retrofits to the stock pedal? or? cost? _
Just ordered the levers from George. Strange transaction - gave him my information, then I asked how to pay him. 'When you get the parts send me a check'. Wow, he has my business for life.
Yep, same thing he did to me. He's old school. "A handshake and a man's word is how I do business", he said.
He makes a foot pad that replaces the OEM one, but it's the stock height. He is going to try to modify one so it sits lower.
how much were you quoted? i have sent an email but no reply as yet. do you know if he deals with O/S orders?
Just a new eccentric won't do it. You also need a shorter clevis. kirbybikes did one himself and has a pretty good writeup here: http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/630-rear-brake-foot-pad-adjustment.23305/ I want to see what George sends me for this foot pad. Something that just bolts on would be my preference. If I don't like it, I'll do what kirbybikes did. If you want something from George, you have to call him. He's old school. (714) 540-2920
I see what you mean. A modified clevis wouldn't be hard to do. The thing about a lowered foot pad is that the edge of your boot could still contact and push the arm that the pad bolts to? Unless he's talking about a different arm altogether. I'm sure he has it figured out.
If I recall without going and looking the foodpad is rivetted on so would need to drill old one off if there is a replacement?
Not me. Haven't received anything from George yet. Good thing he doesn't want any money until the stuff is in my hands.
Same here. I ordered on the 7th and called the other day. He said he is waiting on Arc to deliver more.
