Wait Time For Custom Builds??

[MARROCKS]

Do any of you guys know what's the common wait time for a custom build? I am currently awaiting a build by G&L Choppers that is going into it's six month! I understand there is only two employees, Rich and Josh, but each time I ask him when's the bike coming the date get's pushed further back. I'm starting to think some bad thoughts here! Can anyone help?

Rich at G&L is a standup guy. They did a hardtail job, forward controls, seat, coil mount, tank work, fender mount and a few other things for me and the work was beautiful well worth the wait. Quality takes time and they are swamped.

Great Scott built a very nice set of one off pipes for me that fit like a champ and the workmanship was superior.

As soon as a get my hot rod motor back from Paul at 650motorcycles.com I’ll start putting this baby together. By the way it has taken longer to get the motor completed than it took G&L.

I recommend G&L, Great Scott, and Paul through experience.

Hi, Jimmy,

I am waiting on your big block kit to come in from MikesXS, they are out of stock right now.
Should not be long.

Thank you,

Paul

They are slow. They have a ton of work and it does take them a while to finish but it will be worth it.

Thanks for your replys guys. I'm nervous and anxious to get this bike, but I feel much calmer from your posts.

Ok so now you know, custom builds take time, I waited at least 6 months on mine and was stated 5 weeks .......... yep 5 weeks imagine my surprise when i went the whole winter waiting for my frame oh and when spring came i was still waiting ..... oh and when summer came I finally got my frame oh but whats this the rear fender tabs interfere with the rear brake ...... oh and the rear brake stay is not there oh and some parts are missing in the shipment yup have a smoke crack a beer and just relax. when you get it that's when the work starts so save your strength and welcome to the club.we all went through something like that.

Thanks Allergo, did you order from G&L Choppers too?

Any word from Rich at G&L about your build?

[MARROCKS]

I did get a reply at the end of August from Rich, saying he needed more time. So, now next week I'm going into my 7 month with no Custom Build not complete yet. It's starting to really bother me. I've called Ardcore to find out there build time and John said 4 to 6 weeks. Shit I probally should have gone with them. One thing is for sure no Custom Build out of state for me it will have to be locally. $6,000 and no bike yet, your killing me Larry.

marrocks, maybe try tigman too (tanksbytigman.com) he is a stand up guy too . Otherwise I have heard nothing but good from ardcore. Either one will shoot you straight. Sounds like G&L left you hanging. they probably have not yet started on it, any way you can get your money back, if you put any down?
