Is Rick Oliver still in business?

Post by doodleface »

I want to buy the HRC full kit from Rick oliver rather the messing around I think, Just wondering if he's still in business? And do I just email him to order. Also what sort of HP came out of his kits does anyone know?
Cheers!
James.

I can tell you he exists, he may take a while to get back to you, but he does exist. Just send him an email and after a few days (like 4 or 5) he will get back to you. Super helpful guy. I can't tell you anything about the kit though, but ask him what you are trying to get out of it and he will let you know if its to your advantage.

Do you mean the hrc carb kit?

It feels like it gives an extra 4-5 hp over a standard airbox setup and decent increase in torque also. Best power-producing mod for a racebike I reckon. :up:

Yeah thats the one, I just considered the work i'd have to do fluffing around getting it back to stock first, then messing about from there, when I could simply by a hrc kit for 200 bucks and be done with it! Seems logical. I live in Australia and I'm keen on getting one so I'll hope he responds to my email first ;)

Cheers all you guys on this forum are awesome! Thanks for all your help.

Hey cammo i don't need to do any engine work for that setup either do, I know your supposed to but I should get good gains with just the carb kit right? Ideally I'd LOVE to run a filter cause i do worry about my engine though.

Just called him tonight. Really great guy, actually got me to spend less money than I had planned and explained a few "tricks" to fix a few issues I had. He is very busy though, I can confirm this.
