Elite S Engine Bulder

Post by tommyd »

Can anyone recommend a good shop to build me a complete stroker motor for my 94 Elite and ship it to the states? I used to deal with Xtreme Cycle Worx when I was a kid but they're not around anymore. The only other I shop I know of is VT Cycles but I'm not even sure if they're still open.


Thanks

Hey I just noticed you're from Michigan. I grew up in the Metro-Detroit area and that's where my 94 Elite is.

I'm on the southern border of Detroit, but I sold some DIO parts to a kid in Waterford a real long time ago.

I didn't realize how many people were riding scooters now. I stopped riding mine around 2002 but my dad still rides it a lot so I'm getting the motor built for him. I'll take some pics of my 94 Elite S.

I did all of the work on my 94 but I won't be bringing any tools, or a car, when I move so I wanted something ready for me to drive as soon as I get there. I'm talking to Quick-Fix Cycles right now.

Haha, Happy is a tweaker?
